§ 45-2-1604. Reports by banks.

All banks shall make to the commissioner, on the call of the commissioner for the reports, at least two (2) reports during each year according to the form, including electronic transmission, that may be prescribed by the commissioner. The report must be verified by the oath or affirmation of the executive officers or agents thereof, and in the case of a corporation, by the president or cashier or secretary, and must be attested by the signature of at least three (3) directors of the corporation. The commissioner shall make one (1) of the calls in the first one-half (½) of the year and another in the latter one-half (½) of the year. Each report shall exhibit in detail and under appropriate heads the resources and liabilities of each bank at the close of business on any past day specified by the commissioner. The day for reports shall be uniform throughout the state, and shall be transmitted by the bank to the commissioner within the period the commissioner prescribes, but in no instance less than five (5) days after receipt of a request or requisition thereof from the commissioner. Instead of the report required under this subsection (b), the commissioner may accept a copy of a call report required by federal regulatory agencies or deems the filing of the report, electronic or otherwise, as required by federal regulatory agencies to constitute compliance with this section. The commissioner may call for a special report from any particular bank whenever, in the commissioner's judgment, the same is necessary or deemed necessary for the protection of the public or for a full and complete knowledge of the condition of the bank by the commissioner. Special reports called for shall be made in all particulars as required in subsections (a) and (b); provided, that a bank is not required to publish a copy of a special report in a newspaper.
