RS 78 - Uniform systems of accounting
A. The commissioner of administration shall, under authority of the governor and consistent with the provisions of this Chapter, prescribe and cause to be installed and maintained a uniform system of accounting in all state agencies. Should the legislative auditor find that these accounting procedures do not adequately reflect the financial activities of the state agencies, he shall so advise the legislature at its next regular session in a detailed report outlining said inadequacies.
B. There are to be appropriate program structures specified for each budget unit and that the necessary accounting adjustments and reports are to be incorporated into the accounting system of the state by the division of administration so that the financial information is reflective of the program operations of the budget units as they are specified in the appropriation acts.
C. Any provision of this Chapter to the contrary notwithstanding, the governor may, by executive order, modify or revise procedures, systems, and practices of accounting and fiscal reporting as, in his opinion, are in the best interest of the state.
