(4) Every association shall close its books at the close of business at least annually or
more often if required for all associations by the commissioner.
(5) No association by any system of accounting or any device of bookkeeping shall,
either directly or indirectly, enter any of its assets upon its books in the name of any other person,
partnership, association, or corporation or under any title or designation that is not fairly
descriptive of the assets.
(6) The commissioner, after a determination of value made in accordance with this
chapter, may order that assets, individually or in the aggregate, to the extent that the assets are
overvalued on an association's books, be charged off, or that a special reserve or reserves equal to
the overvaluation be set up by transfers from undivided profits or reserves.
(7) An association shall not carry any real estate on its books at a sum in excess of the
total amount invested by the association on account of that real estate, including advances, costs,

name and address of the members, the status of each member as a savings account holder, or an
obligor, or a savings account holder and obligor, and the date membership began. In the case of a
