Chapter 53 - Management of Planned Community
Section 5316 - Association records

(a) Financial records.--The association shall keep financial records sufficiently detailed to enable the association to comply with section 5407 (relating to resales of units). All financial and other records shall be made reasonably available for examination by any unit owner and authorized agents.
(b) Annual financial statements.--Within 180 days after the close of its fiscal year, the association in any planned community having more than 12 units or subject to any rights under section 5215 (relating to subdivision or conversion of units) or 5211 (relating to conversion and expansion of flexible planned communities) shall prepare annual financial statements consisting of at least a balance sheet and a statement of revenues and expenses for the association. The cost of preparing the financial statements shall be a common expense. Each unit owner shall be entitled to receive from the association, within 30 days after submitting a written request to the association, a copy of the annual financial statements and, if such financial statements are audited, reviewed or compiled by an independent certified public accountant or independent public accountant, a copy of the independent accountant's report on the financial statements. The association may charge a fee not to exceed the cost of producing copies of records other than the financial statement.
(c) Filing of complaints.--If an association subject to subsection (a) fails to provide a copy of the annual financial statements and, if applicable, the report of an independent accountant as required under subsection (b) to the requesting unit owner within 30 days of the unit owner's written request or if the financial records of the association which substantiate an association's financial statements are not made reasonably available by any association for examination by any unit owner and authorized agents, the unit owner may file a complaint with the Bureau of Consumer Protection in the Office of Attorney General.
