Title 71 - INDIANA HORSE RACING COMMISSION
Article 13 - REGISTERED HORSEMEN'S ASSOCIATIONS
Rule 1 - General Provisions
Section 1-7 - Financial reports

(a) The commission may require periodic audits of the three separate accounts required by section 8(a)(7) of this rule in order to determine whether a registered horsemen's association has expended funds in compliance with IC 4-35-7-12.

(b) At the time it files its registration under section 1 of this rule, a registered horsemen's association shall file with the commission a copy of its state and federal tax returns from the preceding calendar year.

(c) A registered horsemen's association shall file an unaudited balance sheet and profit and loss statement if kept in the regular course of the horsemen's association's business for the three (3) separate accounts required by section 8(a)(7) of this rule as required by the commission. Those submissions must be in a format which conforms with the categories set out in section 3(1) of this rule.

(d) A registered horsemen's association shall file an annual financial statement, audited by independent certified public accountants, with the commission not later than May 15 after the close of its fiscal year, which at minimum reflects operations of the three (3) separate accounts required by section 8(a)(7) of this rule during the preceding calendar year. The audit must be in format that conforms with the categories set out in section 3(1) of this rule. The commission, upon good cause shown, may extend the time for filing or permit the horsemen's association to file a report of an independent certified public accountant that is less rigorous than a full audit but which addresses the accounting, auditing, internal control, and reporting procedures for the separate accounts required by section 8(a)(7) of this rule.

(e) A registered horsemen's association shall file with the commission a copy of any tax audit report received from the Internal Revenue Service, Department of State Revenue, or any other federal or state agency auditing the registered horsemen's association, within thirty (30) days after the receipt thereof.

(f) A previously registered horsemen's association or a horsemen's association that has submitted a request for approval of registration with the commission shall provide any materials specified in section 6 of this rule and this section that are requested by the commissioner or its executive director.
