Other copies shall be furnished the municipal corporation as are requested by the chairperson of the governing body or the managing or executive officer.

(3)(a) The municipal corporation shall file one copy of its audit report with the Secretary of State within six months after the close of the calendar or fiscal year under audit, unless the secretary, for good cause shown, grants to the municipal corporation a reasonable extension of time. The extension may not exceed one year after the close of the calendar or fiscal year under audit unless the secretary finds that extraordinary circumstances justify a longer extension. A municipal corporation is delinquent for purposes of the filing requirement under this subsection if the municipal corporation does not file the audit report by the deadline or any extended deadline described in this subsection.
