537.2304 - RECORDS -- ANNUAL REPORTS. - Iowa Statutes

537.2304 RECORDS -- ANNUAL REPORTS. 1. Every licensee shall maintain records in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and practices in a manner that will enable the licensing authority to determine whether the licensee is complying with the provisions of law. The recordkeeping system of a licensee is sufficient if the licensee makes the required information reasonably available. The records need not be kept in the place of business where supervised loans are made, if the licensing authority is given free access to the records wherever located. 2. On or before April 15 each year every licensee shall file with the licensing authority a composite annual report in the form prescribed by that authority relating to all supervised loans made by the licensee. The licensing authority shall consult with comparable officials in other states for the purpose of making the kinds of information required in annual reports uniform among the states. Information contained in annual reports shall be confidential and may be published only in composite form. The licensing authority shall assess against a licensee who fails to file the prescribed report on or before April 15 a penalty of ten dollars for each day the report is overdue, up to a maximum of thirty days. When an annual report is overdue for more than thirty days, the licensing authority may institute proceedings under section 537.2303 for revocation of the licenses held by the licensee.          Section History: Early Form [C75, 77, 79, 81, § 537.2304]
