§ 582 Inaccurate Records Order

Key Takeaways

  • •If a bank or financial company's records are messy or wrong, the boss (commissioner) can step in without warning.
  • •The boss can tell the company to stop doing whatever made the records bad.
  • •The boss can also tell the company to fix their records so they’re correct and complete.

Example

A bank keeps losing receipts and writing down wrong numbers in their books. The boss can’t tell how much money the bank really has.

The boss can immediately tell the bank to stop being sloppy and fix their books so everything is correct.

§ 582 Inaccurate Records Order

If the commissioner finds that a subject institution’s books or records are so incomplete or inaccurate that the commissioner is unable through the normal supervisory process to determine the financial condition of the subject institution or the details or purpose of any transaction or transactions that may materially affect the financial condition of the subject institution, the commissioner may, without any prior notice or hearing, order the subject institution to do either of the following: (a) Cease any activity or practice that gave rise, in whole or in part, to the incomplete or inaccurate state of the books or records. (b) Take affirmative action to restore the books or records to a complete and accurate state. (Added by Stats. 2011, Ch. 243, Sec. 2. (SB 664) Effective January 1, 2012.)
