The financial statements of the funds of State government or the financial and other
records of the Tax Commissioner, Treasurer, and Agency of Administration shall be
examined by competent accountants employed by the State under the direction of the
Emergency Board whenever in its discretion an independent audit will serve the best
interests of the State. A copy of the report of such examination shall be filed with
each member of the Emergency Board and shall be open to public inspection. The Emergency
Board shall transmit to the General Assembly a copy of such reports covering the examination
so made for the preceding two years. The expenses of such examinations shall be paid
from the General Fund. The provisions of this section shall not be construed to limit
the duty of the Auditor of Accounts as set forth under subdivision 163(1) of this title. (Amended 1959, No. 328 (Adj. Sess.), § 22; 1967, No. 91, § 2.)
