        326.19  RECORDS PRESERVED -- AUDITS.         A registrant whose application for apportioned registration has      been accepted shall preserve the records upon which the registration      is based for a period of three years after the close of the      registration year.  Upon request of the department, all fleet owners      shall make all such records available to the department for audit as      to accuracy of computation and payment.  An audit shall be conducted      at the office of the registrant during normal business hours.      However, if circumstances dictate, the registrant may be required to      present the records at the office of motor carrier services of the      department.  If the registrant's operational records are not located      in the base state and it is necessary for the base state to send      auditors to the location where the records are normally kept, the      base state may require the registrant to reimburse the per diem and      travel expenses incurred by the auditors in performing the audit.      The department may enter into agreements with authorized agencies or      other contracting jurisdictions for joint audits of any registrant.
