   1. (1) audited by an accountant and consistent with GAAP;
   2. (2) reviewed by an accountant and consistent with GAAP (except for the first renewal, which must be audited or compiled); or

   1. (1) balance sheet (calculation of unearned student tuition shall be based upon at least a quarterly pro rata basis or refund policy basis for the program, whichever would most accurately reflect recognition of income);
   2. (2) statement of results of operation, which includes a statement of income and retained earnings;
   3. (3) statement of cash flows; and
   4. (4) the gross amount minus refunds of annual student tuition and fees for each school, separated from other revenues unrelated to training.

   2. (2) a copy of the annual income tax form filed specifically for the business; and
   3. (3) an owner's sworn statement certifying that the unearned tuition affidavit and the copy of the annual income tax form are true and correct.

4. (d) A school that is a subsidiary of a corporation may submit, in lieu of the statements required in this section, the annual audited financial statements of the parent corporation provided that:

   1. (1) said statements are accompanied by an audited list of any student tuition refunds payable by the subsidiary school at the close of its fiscal year. The statements shall also be accompanied by an owner's sworn statement reflecting the gross amount minus refunds of student tuition and fees earned during the fiscal year on all programs approved under the Act; and
   2. (2) the parent corporation ensures that each student enrolled in the subsidiary school receives either the training agreed upon or a refund as provided in the Act, and submits either a certified resolution of its board of directors to this effect or any other evidence as deemed appropriate by the Commission to establish financial responsibility by the parent corporation.
