20 special financial reports from a credit union or a credit
21 union organization in which a credit union loans, invests, or
22 delegates substantially all managerial duties and
23 responsibilities when he determines that such examinations
24 and reports are necessary to enable the Department to
25 determine the safety of a credit union's operation or its
26 solvency. The cost to the Department of the aforesaid special
27 examinations shall be borne by the credit union being
28 examined.
29 (3) All credit unions incorporated under this Act shall

11 to submit to an examination when ordered by the Department
12 shall be reported to the Attorney General, who shall
13 institute proceedings to have its charter revoked. If the
14 Director determines that the annual examination of a credit
15 union is to be conducted by a public accountant registered by
16 the Department of Professional Regulation and the such annual
17 examination is done in conjunction with the credit union's
18 external independent audit of financial statements, the
19 requirements of this Section and subsection (3) of Section 34
20 shall be deemed met.
21 (4) A copy of the completed report of examination and a
22 review comment letter, if any, citing exceptions revealed
23 during the examination, shall be submitted to the credit
24 union by the Department. A detailed report stating the
25 corrective actions taken by the Board of Directors on each
26 exception set forth in the review comment letter shall be
27 filed with the Department within 40 days after the date of
28 the review comment letter, or as otherwise directed by the
29 Department. Any credit union through its officers, directors,
30 committee members or employees, which willfully provides
31 fraudulent or misleading information regarding the corrective
32 actions taken on exceptions appearing in a review comment
33 letter may have its operations restricted to the collection
34 of principal and interest on loans outstanding and the
