(1)  Every administrator shall maintain in such administrator's principal administrative office for the duration of the written agreement and for 5 years thereafter adequate books and records of all transactions among such administrator, insurers, and insured persons. Such books and records shall be maintained in accordance with prudent standards of insurance recordkeeping.

(2)  The office shall have access to books and records maintained by the administrator for the purpose of examination, audit, and inspection.

However, the office may use such information in any proceeding instituted against the administrator.
