(a)Financial statements.
(1)A courier service shall provide annually to the commission, no later than 120 days following the end of such licensee’s fiscal year, financial statements audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, unless the commission, in writing, waives such requirement. The commission may require additional financial information in a format the commission prescribes. The preparation of annual or other financial statements shall be at the sole expense of the licensee.
(2)In addition to the licensee’s audited financial statements, each courier service shall submit a copy of the management letter prepared by the independent Certified Public Accountant that lists any internal control or operational weaknesses noted during the financial statement audit and recommendations for improvement. The licensee shall prepare a response to the issues outlined in the management letter that describes any corrective actions taken or planned to be taken and include a copy of this response with its submission to the commission.
(3)If a courier service or any of its affiliates is publicly held, such licensee or affiliate shall make available and provide, to the commission, written notice of any report, including, without limitation, forms S-1, 8-K, 10-Q, 10-K, proxy or information statements, and all registration statements required to be filed by such licensee or affiliates with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or other domestic or foreign securities regulatory agency, at the time of filing with such agency.
(4)The commission has the authority to conduct, or to have conducted at a licensee’s expense, an audit or review of any of such licensee’s financial controls and records.
(b)Anti-money laundering.
A courier service shall submit to the commission by April 15th of each year an anti-money laundering compliance finding statement on a form issued by the commission and duly executed by the licensee’s designated anti-money laundering compliance officer. A courier service shall implement anti-money laundering procedures that shall, at a minimum:
(1)establish a system of internal policies, procedures and controls to assess anti-money-laundering-related risks present within its business, considering, among other things, play volume and character, range of financial services offered, characteristics of certain games, contestant behaviors and contestant characteristics;
(2)designate an anti-money laundering compliance officer and file the name of such officer with the commission, updating such filing as may be necessary to maintain a current and accurate record at the commission;
(3)conduct an internal and/or external independent audit to test for compliance and provide copies to the commission;
(4)train appropriate employees in reportable currency transactions and identifying unusual or suspicious transactions;
(5)assign an individual or group of individuals to be responsible for day-to-day compliance; and
(6)employ the use of automated programs to aid in assuring compliance when automated processing systems are in use.
