                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

EXPENSE OF EXAMINATION (§ 38.2-1319)

A. Any person examined shall be liable for the necessary traveling and other
expenses reasonably attributable to the examiners or incurred by the Commission
on account of its examination. The Commission may require the person to pay
either a reasonable living expense allowance or the actual living expenses of an
examiner, whichever the Commission determines to be more appropriate. Where the
examiner is other than a full-time employee of the Commission, the person may,
in addition, be required to pay to the Commission&#8217;s examiners, upon
presentation of an itemized statement, consulting fees or a per diem
compensation at a reasonable rate approved by the Commission.

B. Where the examination concerns a person domiciled or having its home office
in this Commonwealth, the Commission may, at its discretion and for good cause,
waive payment of expenses.

C. If the Commission finds the accounts to be inadequate, or inadequately kept
or posted, it may employ experts to rewrite, post or balance them at the expense
of the person examined if that person has failed to complete or correct the
accounts after notice and reasonable opportunity has been given by the
Commission.
