Sec. 18. All examinations under this chapter may be made without notice to the audited entities or officers whose accounts are to be examined, and without notice to any clerk, deputy, employee, or other person employed in or connected with the office or the business of such an audited entity or officer.

(2) to the officer in charge of the account or to any other unauthorized person;
commits a Class B misdemeanor.
