All deposits of money that are not fully insured by an agency of the United States shall, if required by the state treasurer or the authority, be secured by obligations of the United States, an agency of the United States, or obligations of this state or a local unit of government in this state, of a market value equal to the uninsured amount of the deposit. A state bank, national bank, or a state or federally chartered savings and loan association may give security for the deposits.

Money held in trust or otherwise for the payment of notes or bonds or to secure notes or bonds and deposits of money may be secured in the same manner as money of the authority, and all banks and trust companies may give security for the deposits.
(3) Subject to agreements with noteholders and bondholders, the authority shall prescribe a system of accounts.
(4) The authority may spend for operating purposes those funds appropriated to it annually by the legislature for operating purposes or as otherwise authorized. The authority is subject to audit by the auditor general or an independent public accounting firm appointed by the auditor general.
