What if you don't give up your books that you're legally required to keep? What happens? How did they get them?

My point is a company handing over books is not the same situation as the police commanding you to tell them where you put a journal. A company's financial records are something they are specifically required to keep and provide by law. If they don't have their books in their possession then they're in violation of the law. The government doesn't even need any suspicion, any company can be audited.
