b)         The report of audit of a wholly-owned service corporation may be consolidated with the report of audit of the parent savings bank provided that the report sets forth:

1)         the auditor's opinion that the activity of the service corporation does not materially affect the financial position of the parent savings bank; and

2)         all details of consolidation.

c)         The auditor shall test compliance with the Act and this Part and determine the effect that the service corporation has on the financial position of the parent savings banks.

d)         The auditor shall determine and report any facts relating to any direct or indirect self-dealing by any service corporation officer, organization director, employee or shareholder other than a savings bank. The auditor shall also determine and report any facts relating to any direct or indirect conflict of interest of any officer, organization director, employee or shareholder of a savings bank holding stock in the service corporation.

e)         Any noncompliance with the Act or this Part, self-dealing or conflict of interest which are discovered during the audit shall be set forth in the report of audit delivered to the service corporation's board of directors. The service corporation's board of directors shall promptly report the noncompliance to the Director and to the board of directors of the parent savings banks.

f)         A copy of the audit report shall be filed with the Director within 90 days after the audit date, except upon receipt of written notice setting forth the reason delivery of the report of audit is delayed by circumstances beyond the control of the service corporation, the Director may extend the filing date for up to 60 additional days.
