48-2-111. Records and reports Examinations.

(a)  Every registered broker-dealer and investment adviser shall make and keep such accounts, correspondence, memoranda, papers, books, and other records as the commissioner by rule prescribes. All records so required shall be preserved for three (3) years unless the commissioner by rule prescribes otherwise for particular types of records.

(b)  Every registered broker-dealer and investment adviser shall file such financial reports and other documents as the commissioner by rule prescribes.

(c)  If the information contained in any document filed with the commissioner is or becomes inaccurate or incomplete in any material respect, the registrant shall promptly file a correcting amendment.

(d)  (1)  All the records referred to in subsection (a) are subject at any time and from time to time to such reasonable periodic, special, or other examinations, within or without this state, by representatives of the commissioner, as the commissioner deems necessary or appropriate in the public interest or for the protection of investors.

     (2)  The cost of such examination shall be borne by the person examined in the same manner as is then provided for insurance companies; provided, that not more than two (2) such examinations shall be charged to such person in any twelve-month period.

     (3)  For the purpose of avoiding unnecessary duplication of examinations, the commissioner, insofar as the commissioner deems it practicable in administering this subsection, may cooperate with the securities administrators of other states, the securities and exchange commission, any national securities exchange or national securities association registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any securities administrators' association.
