Bill > SB1645

This bill amends existing Arizona law to expand the duties of the Auditor General, the state official responsible for auditing government agencies. Specifically, it adds a new provision allowing the Auditor General to conduct performance audits of any state agency or political subdivision (like a county or city) that receives taxpayer money, if requested by the Joint Legislative Audit Committee. These audits would verify if the recipient is meeting the conditions attached to receiving those funds. The bill also clarifies that if the Auditor General determines there aren't enough funds to complete a special audit required by law, they must notify the Joint Legislative Audit Committee, and the Joint Legislative Budget Committee staff will then inform all legislators about the audit's cost.
