Multiple Choice Hard

Practice question

A union treasurer submits a true, audited, affidavit-verified annual account within 30 days after fiscal year-end. Later, a majority of members adopts a resolution requiring another account after questions arise about subsequent collections. The treasurer refuses, saying annual compliance is the maximum obligation. A member also requests inspection during office hours. What is the best answer?
  1. The annual account bars both requests.
  2. Only management can require further accounting.
  3. The majority may require the additional account, and the member retains the office-hours inspection right.
  4. The member must first become an officer.
  5. Financial records may be withheld indefinitely after an annual report.
