(a) Every applicant, registered issuer, registered broker-dealer, or registered investment adviser shall make and keep any accounts, correspondence, memoranda, papers, books, and other records which the Securities Commissioner by rule prescribes. However, this subsection shall not apply to any registered investment adviser that maintains its principal place of business in a state other than Arkansas that:
(1) Is registered or licensed as such in the state in which it maintains its principal place of business; and
(2) Is in compliance with the applicable books and record-keeping requirements of the state in which it maintains its principal place of business.
(b) Every registered broker-dealer, issuer, or investment adviser shall file any financial reports which the commissioner by rule prescribes.
(c) If the information contained in any document filed with the commissioner or the commissioner's designee is or becomes inaccurate or incomplete in any material respect, then the registrant shall promptly file a correcting amendment.
(d)
(1) All the records referred to in subsection (a) of this section are subject, at any time or from time to time, to such reasonable periodic, special, or other examinations by representatives of the commissioner, within or without this state, as the commissioner deems necessary or appropriate in the public interest or for the protection of investors.
(2)
(A) The applicant, issuer, broker-dealer, or investment adviser shall pay a fee for each examination, not to exceed one hundred fifty dollars ($150) per examiner for each day or for each part of a day, during which examiners are absent from the office of the commissioner for the purpose of conducting the examination.
(B) In addition to the fee, the commissioner may require the applicant, issuer, broker-dealer, or investment adviser to pay the actual hotel and traveling expenses of each authorized examiner traveling to and from the office of the commissioner while the examiner is conducting the examination.
(3) For the purpose of avoiding unnecessary duplication of examination, the commissioner, insofar as he or she deems it practicable in administering this subsection, may cooperate with the securities administrators of other states, the Securities and Exchange Commission, any national securities exchange or national securities association registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or any other jurisdiction, agency, or organization charged by law or statute with regulating or prosecuting any aspect of the securities business, and in so cooperating may share any information he or she or his or her representatives may obtain as a result of any investigation or examination. "Examination" shall include the right to reproduce copies of the records referred to in subsection (a) of this section.
