(a) Annually on or before June 1, or such later date as the commissioner upon request or for cause may specify, each domestic mutual benefit society shall file an audit by a designated independent certified public accountant or accounting firm of the financial statements reporting the financial condition and the results of operations of the mutual benefit society. The audited financial statement may use either generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) or statutory accounting principles (SAP). If the generally accepted accounting principles method is used, a reconciliation of the financial statement to the statutory accounting principles must be provided to the commissioner. The mutual benefit society, on an annual basis and prior to the commencement of the audit, shall notify the commissioner in writing of the name and address of the person or firm retained to conduct the annual audit. The commissioner may disapprove the mutual benefit society's designation within fifteen days of receipt of the mutual benefit society's notice, and the mutual benefit society shall be required to designate another independent certified public accountant or accounting firm.
(b) The commissioner may suspend or revoke the certificate of authority of any mutual benefit society that fails to file any of the documents required in subsection (a). In lieu of or in addition to suspension or revocation of the certificate of authority of any mutual benefit society, the commissioner may impose on the mutual benefit society a penalty in the amount of not less than $100 and not more than $500 for each day of delinquency.
