The comptroller and each   examiner of municipal affairs shall  have  power  to  examine  into  the   financial  affairs  of  every  such  municipal  corporation,  industrial   development agency, district, agency,  activity,  any  fire  company  as   defined  in  section  two  hundred four-a of this chapter, and any other   organization, except a statewide association  of  local  governments  or   local  government  officials,  that  is controlled by one or more of any   such municipal corporations, industrial development agencies,  districts   or agencies. An organization shall be deemed under the control of one or   more  municipal corporations, industrial development agencies, districts   or agencies when one or  more  individuals  who  serve  as  officers  or   employees  of  any  such  municipal  corporation, industrial development   agency, district  or  agency:  (a)  select  either  a  majority  of  the   organization's  highest  policy-making  body or the organization's chief   executive officer; (b) constitute a majority of the voting strength that   selects either a majority of the  organization's  highest  policy-making   body or the organization's chief executive officer; or (c) serve as: (i)   a majority of the organization's highest policy-making body; (ii) in his   or her official capacity, the organization's chief executive officer; or   (iii) in his or her official capacity, a partner in the organization. An   organization  under  the  control of one or more municipal corporations,   industrial  development  agencies,  districts  or  agencies  shall  also   include any other organization that is controlled by such organization.2. In connection with any examination authorized by subdivision one of   this  section,  the  comptroller  and each examiner of municipal affairs   shall have power to administer an oath to any person whose testimony may   be required, and to compel the appearance and attendance of such  person   for  the  purpose  of  any  such  examination and investigation, and the   production of books and papers. In the case of a municipal  corporation,   industrial  development agency, or school district, no such person shall   be compelled to  appear  or  be  examined  elsewhere  than  within  such   municipal   corporation,   industrial   development  agency,  or  school   district. In the case of any district other than a school  district,  no   such  person  may  be  compelled to appear or be examined elsewhere than   within the town or one of the towns in which such  district  or  portion   thereof  is  located.  In  the  case of an urban renewal agency, no such   person shall be compelled to appear or be examined outside the municipal   corporation wherein such agency is established. In the case  of  a  fire   company,  no  such  person  shall  be compelled to appear or be examined   outside the area served by the company. In the case of an  activity,  no   such  person shall be compelled to appear outside the area served by the   activity. In the case of an organization under the  control  of  one  or   more  municipal corporations, industrial development agencies, districts   or agencies, no such person shall  be  compelled  to  appear  or  to  be   examined  outside the county in which the organization has its principal   headquarters. Willful  false  swearing  in  such  examination  shall  be   perjury and shall be punishable as such.3.  For  purposes  of  this  section,  the  term  "a  majority  of the   organization's highest policy-making body" shall mean a majority of  the   whole  number of positions comprising such body, provided, however, that   if the documents establishing  the  organization's  internal  governance   allow  such  body to act by a majority of a quorum, then such term shall   mean a majority of the quorum.
