1. Every registered broker-dealer shall make and keep such accounts, correspondence, memoranda, papers, books, and other records as the administrator by rule prescribes. All records so required shall be preserved for three years unless the administrator by rule prescribes otherwise for particular types of records. All required records shall be kept within this state or shall, at the request of the administrator, be made available at any time for examination at the administrator's option either in the principal office of the registrant or by production of exact copies thereof in this state.
2. Every registered broker-dealer shall file such financial reports as the administrator by rule prescribes.
3. If the information contained in any document filed with the administrator is or becomes inaccurate or incomplete in any material respect, the registrant shall promptly file a correcting amendment unless notification of the correction has been given under section 502.301, subsection 2.
4. The administrator may make examinations, within or without this state, of the business and records of each registered broker-dealer, at the times and in the scope as the administrator determines. The examinations may be made without prior notice to the broker-dealer. The administrator may copy all records the administrator feels are necessary to conduct the examination. The expense reasonably attributable to an examination shall be paid by the broker-dealer whose business is examined, but the expense so payable shall not exceed an amount which the administrator by rule prescribes. For the purpose of avoiding unnecessary duplication of examinations, the administrator may co-operate with securities administrators of other states, the securities and exchange commission, and any national securities exchange or national securities association registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The administrator shall not make public the information obtained in the course of examinations, except when a duty under this chapter requires the administrator to take action regarding a broker-dealer or to make the information available to one of the agencies specified in this section, or except when the administrator is called as a witness in a criminal or civil proceeding.
