N.Y. Penal Law § 175.45 — Issuing a false financial statement is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
§ 175.45 Issuing a false financial statement.
A person is guilty of issuing a false financial statement when, with intent to defraud:
1. He knowingly makes or utters a written instrument which purports to describe the financial condition or ability to pay of some person and which is inaccurate in some material respect; or
2. He represents in writing that a written instrument purporting to describe a person's financial condition or ability to pay as of a prior date is accurate with respect to such person's current financial condition or ability to pay, whereas he knows it is materially inaccurate in that respect.
Issuing a false financial statement is a class A misdemeanor.
