Practice question
A solely local placement agency accepts that DOLE regulates it but refuses books-of-accounts inspection because Article 37 supposedly reaches only applicant lists. Which is correct?
- Applicant lists are the only permitted subject.
- All financial books are immune regardless of lawful coverage.
- Regulation automatically transfers the agency’s funds to DOLE.
- The provision expressly includes books of accounts as well as records.
- The refusal makes a judge’s criminal warrant unnecessary.
