Bill Summary
So much of the recommendations of the State Auditor (House, No. 3) as relates to reconciling inconsistent statutory audit schedules. State Administration and Regulatory Oversight.
AI Summary
This bill aims to reconcile inconsistent statutory audit schedules by granting the state auditor more flexibility in determining the frequency of audits. The bill amends various sections of state law to remove specific requirements for annual, biennial, or triennial audits, and instead allows the state auditor to conduct audits "in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards, as often as the auditor determines is necessary." This change allows the auditor to adjust the audit schedule based on the particular needs and risks of each state agency or program, rather than being bound to a fixed schedule. The bill also repeals several sections of prior legislation that mandated specific audit frequencies.
