Every savings and loan association organized under the laws of this state shall make, as of the thirty-first day of December and the thirtieth day of June of each year, a report of the affairs and business of the association for the preceding half year, showing its financial condition at the end thereof. The statement as of the thirty-first day of December shall be the annual statement of the association. The superintendent of financial institutions may also require monthly reports.
The superintendent may, by written order mailed to the managing officer of such an association, require any association to submit to the superintendent within a reasonable time specified in the written order a report concerning its real estate and other assets, other than the appraisals required by section 1151.54 of the Revised Code.
Any such association refusing or neglecting to file any report required by this section within the time specified shall forfeit one hundred dollars for every day that such default continues unless such penalty, in whole or in part, is waived by the superintendent. The superintendent may maintain an action in the name of the state to recover such forfeiture which, upon its collection, shall be paid into the state treasury to the credit of the savings institutions fund established under section 1181.18 of the Revised Code.
Every such association shall maintain adequate, complete, and correct accounts and shall observe such generally accepted accounting principles and practices or generally accepted auditing standards, as the superintendent prescribes. The superintendent shall demand once a year, and at the expense of the association, that its accounts be audited by an independent auditor. A copy of the audit report shall be submitted to the board of directors of the association and filed, together with management's response, with the superintendent within thirty days after presentation of the completed report to the board or not later than the thirty-first day of March of the year next succeeding the year for which the audit was conducted, whichever occurs first, unless the time is extended by the superintendent.
At the conclusion of the audit of an association, an independent auditor shall attend a meeting at which there are present only the outside directors of the association or a committee comprised of and appointed by such outside directors and fully disclose at that time to those directors all audit exceptions that developed during the audit and all relevant data and information concerning the financial condition, investment practices, and other financial policies and procedures of the association. The meeting shall be held at a time and place that is agreed upon by the independent auditor and the outside directors or their committee. A complete record of the proceedings of the meeting shall be kept in a minute book that is maintained solely for the purpose of keeping such records. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the independent auditor from meeting at other times with inside directors, officers, or employees of the association.
The superintendent may prescribe a schedule for the preservation and destruction of books, records, certificates, documents, reports, correspondence, and other instruments, papers, and writings of such an association, even if such association has been liquidated pursuant to law. An association may dispose of any books, records, certificates, documents, reports, correspondence, and other instruments, papers, and writings which have been retained or preserved for the period prescribed by the superintendent pursuant to this paragraph. The requirements of this paragraph may be complied with by the preservation of records in the manner prescribed in section 2317.41 of the Revised Code.
