Bill Summary

Reconciling inconsistent statutory audit schedules

AI Summary

This bill amends various sections of Massachusetts General Laws to standardize the frequency and scope of audits conducted by the state auditor, ensuring they are performed "in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards" and "as often as the auditor determines is necessary," rather than adhering to fixed schedules like annual or biennial audits, thereby providing the state auditor with greater flexibility to address potential financial irregularities across numerous state agencies, funds, and programs.
