Abstract

Limits the authority of the director of the special investigations department to investigations involving public monies that are the subject of financial examinations undertaken by the state board. Provides that an internal audit or risk assessment conducted by or on behalf of the state shall remain confidential, and that the state and other individuals may not divulge information related to an internal audit or risk assessment unless required to do so in accordance with a judicial order. Provides an exception allowing the state and other individuals to divulge information related to an internal audit or risk assessment to: (1) the state examiner; (2) the director of the office of management and budget; (3) an external auditor, in accordance with professional auditing standards; or (4) any other individual for any reason that constitutes good cause as determined by the state examiner and approved by the director of the office of management and budget. Provides that if a majority of a governing body is present during an exit conference, or any conference initiated by the state examiner to discuss an examination status, the governing body shall be considered in an executive session. Removes a mandatory requirement that city clerks attend the annual training institute conducted by the state board of accounts. Limits the requirement that certain newly elected or appointed local officers complete five hours of approved training courses before the individual first takes office to only individuals first elected or appointed to the office of clerk-treasurer or city controller (and excluding city clerk). Requires an individual elected to the office of county auditor to annually certify completion of the individual's training requirements and file the certification with the state board.
