| Fiscal Detail and Notes | |||||||||
| It is not known how many municipalities or quasi-municipal corporations would elect not to have the Department of Audit audit their accounting or auditing systems. To the extent that the Department of Audit may conduct fewer audits there may be some savings. Currently there is only one auditor position assigned to this activity and any available time freed up by fewer audits of municipalities would allow more time spent on other high risk audits. Savings would not be significant. | |||||||||
