AI Summary

This bill aims to improve the internal controls within state agencies. It amends existing laws to require the Comptroller, in consultation with the State Auditor, to publish regulations establishing reporting requirements and internal control standards for state agencies. The bill also requires each agency to have an official responsible for ensuring the agency has documented its internal control system and evaluating its effectiveness. Additionally, the bill mandates that any unaccounted variances, losses, or thefts be immediately reported to the State Auditor's office, which will review the matter and make recommendations to the agency. The bill also extends these internal control requirements to certain commonwealth authorities that do not receive direct state appropriations.
