N.D. Cent. Code § 26.1-21-18
If the commissioner determines that the interests of the fund are jeopardized by the misconduct or inefficiency of any public official, the commissioner shall request the state auditor to make an examination, and, if necessary, shall cause an action for an accounting to be instituted against the public official for the purpose of requiring a complete disclosure of the business of the office of which the public official is an incumbent. The action must be brought in the name of the commissioner as plaintiff, and the court in the action may interplead all concerned parties. The commissioner may make a complaint to the governor requesting the governor to institute an investigation with the purpose of removing from the office any defaulting public official or any public official who so conducts the affairs of the public official's office as to endanger the fund.
