Audit Authority

A county auditor may conduct an investigation of an issue or action associated with or related to the auditor's statutory duties, including investigating a book or account of a county office, officer, department, division, court or entity. Read the statute.

Except as provided in Subsection (1)(b) and subject to Subsection (2), a county auditor is authorized to audit the financial records and accounts of a county office, county department, county division, county justice court, or any other county entity. Read the statute.

“Account” or “accounting” means the systematic recording, classification, or summarizing of a financial transaction or event, and the interpretation or presentation of the result of that action.

“Book”means a financial record of the county, regardless of the record's format.

“Audit” or “auditing”means an examination that is a formal analysis of a county account or county financial record to verify accuracy, completeness, or compliance with an internal control; to give a fair presentation of a county's financial status; and that conforms to the uniform classification of accounts established by the state auditor. Read the statute.
