(4) All contracts, sales, trust fund, and accounting records of the registrant shall be readily available at the registrant's principal place of business in this state at reasonable times for examination by an authorized representative of the Attorney General's office;

(5)(a) The necessary expenses of any reasonable examination made pursuant to this section shall be paid by the registrant; but in no case shall the Attorney General or his authorized representatives be paid more than the actual expenses of such examination, not to exceed the lesser of the following amounts: one hundred dollars ($100) per day for each auditor or five dollars ($5) for each registrant's sales contract examined. In any event, the cost of such examination shall not exceed a total of one thousand two hundred fifty dollars ($1,250) during any twelve (12) month period;

(b) The registrant may pay for this expense using interest moneys which have accrued on the registrant's existing cemetery merchandise trust fund accounts or preconstruction trust fund account or perpetual care account. Any withdrawal of interest for this purpose shall be taken as a pro rata share of all of the trust fund accounts. The Attorney General shall be advised in writing by the registrant when interest moneys are the source of payment and shall receive written certification from the financial institution or registrant that the withdrawal was a pro rata share;
