(d) A trust company that is directly or indirectly owned by a bank holding company, a financial holding company, or a savings and loan holding company shall be deemed to be in compliance with the provisions of subsections (a) through (c) of this Section if the bank holding company, financial holding company, or savings and loan holding company obtains an audit by an independent licensed public accountant that includes the trust company and meets the standards of subsection (a) and, within 45 days after the audit report is issued, the bank holding company, financial holding company, or savings and loan holding company causes the independent licensed public accountant to directly file with the Commissioner the provisions of the audit report relating to the trust company.
