Oklahoma Statutes - Title 60. Property
A. The State Treasurer may require any person who has not filed
a report to file a verified report stating whether or not the person
is holding any unclaimed property reportable or deliverable under
the Uniform Unclaimed Property Act. If the State Treasurer has
reason to believe that any person has failed to report property in
accordance with the Uniform Unclaimed Property Act, the State
Treasurer may make a demand by certified mail, return receipt
requested, that such report be made and filed with the State
Treasurer. The report of abandoned property or any other report
required shall be made and filed with the State Treasurer within
sixty (60) days after receipt of the demand.
B. The State Treasurer may at reasonable times and upon
reasonable notice examine the records of any person if the State
Treasurer has reason to believe that such person has failed to
report property that should have been reported pursuant to the
Uniform Unclaimed Property Act. The State Treasurer may contract
with any other person or entity to conduct the examination on behalf
of the State Treasurer. The State Treasurer may keep confidential
documents and working papers obtained or compiled by the State
Treasurer or the State Treasurer's agents or designated
representatives in the course of conducting an examination, except
for information required to be subject to public inspection pursuant
to the Uniform Unclaimed Property Act.
C. If a person is treated under Section 656 of this title as
the holder of the property only insofar as the interest of the
business association in the property is concerned, the State
Treasurer, pursuant to subsection B of this section, may examine the
records of the person if the State Treasurer has given the notice
required by subsection B of this section to both the person and the
business association at least ninety (90) days before the
examination.
D. If a holder fails after September 1, 1991, to maintain the
records required by Section 679.1 of this title and the records of
the holder available for the periods subject to the Uniform
Unclaimed Property Act are insufficient to permit the preparation of
a report, the State Treasurer may require the holder to report and
pay the amount that is reasonably estimated from any available
records.
