Sec. 42. (a) The attorney general may require a person who has not filed a report, or a person who the attorney general believes has filed an inaccurate, an incomplete, or a false report, to file a verified report in a form prescribed by the attorney general stating the following:
(1) Whether the person is holding any unclaimed property reportable or deliverable under this chapter.
(2) Describing any property not previously reported or as to which the attorney general has made inquiry.
(3) Specifically identifying and stating the amounts of property that may be in issue.
(b) The attorney general, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, may examine the records of a person to determine whether the person has complied with this chapter. The attorney general may conduct the examination even if the person believes the person is not in possession of any property reportable or deliverable under this chapter. When making an examination under this chapter, the attorney general may retain attorneys, appraisers, independent actuaries, independent certified public accountants, or other professionals and specialists as examiners.
(c) The attorney general may examine the records of an agent, including a dividend disbursing agent or transfer agent, of a business association that is the holder of property presumed abandoned if the attorney general has given the notice required by subsection (b) to both the business association and the agent at least ninety (90) days before the examination.
(d) If an examination of the records of a person under subsection (b) results in the disclosure of property reportable and deliverable under this chapter, the attorney general may assess the cost of the examination against the holder at a reasonable rate established by the attorney general. The cost of an examination of the records of an agent of a business association under subsection (c) may be imposed only against the business association.
(e) If a holder fails to maintain the records required under section 43 of this chapter and the available records of the holder are insufficient to permit the preparation of a report, the attorney general may require the holder to report and pay an amount that may reasonably be estimated from any available records of the holder or on the basis of any other reasonable estimating technique that the attorney general may select.
