North Dakota Century Code Title 54. State Government § 54-44-07. Office to set up account against person who fails to render account

Whenever any person has received moneys or has moneys or other personal property which belongs to the state by escheat or otherwise, or has been entrusted with the collection, management, or disbursement of any moneys, bonds, or interest accruing therefrom, belonging to or held in trust by the state, and fails to render an account thereof to and make settlement with the office of management and budget within the time prescribed by law, or when no particular time is specified, fails to render such account and make such settlement, or fails, within twenty days after request by the office of management and budget to pay into the state treasury any money belonging to the state, the office of management and budget shall state an account with such person, charging interest at the rate of twelve percent per annum from the time of the failure. A copy of such account is prima facie evidence in any suit of the things therein stated. If the office of management and budget, for want of information, cannot state an account, that fact may be alleged and the amount of money or other property which is due or which belongs to the state may be stated generally.
