AI Summary
This bill amends Indiana law to clarify that the State Board of Accounts, which serves as the independent external auditor for audited entities, must adhere to applicable professional auditing standards, a change from the previous mention of "accounting" standards. It also modifies the requirements for appointing deputy examiners, stipulating that the governor must appoint two deputy examiners, with one being a certified public accountant (CPA) and the other either a CPA or an attorney licensed in Indiana. The bill also includes an emergency clause, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage.
