Summary
Auditing of local government records. Clarifies the authority of the Auditor of Public Accounts (APA) and the type of audit that shall satisfy the annual audit requirement for localities and constitutional officers. The bill provides that the completion of an audit by an independent certified public accountant on behalf of the locality, when the audit includes the clerk of the circuit court, shall satisfy the requirement stipulated by § 30-134 that the APA audit the accounts of the locality at least once every two years. The bill also clarifies that the authority of the APA to audit accounts only when special circumstances require or fraud is suspected is not exclusive but rather exists in addition to the other auditing authority of the APA.
