§ 38.2-1319. Expense of examination
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.

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.
