Agency Mission

The Department of Audit and Control is responsible for paying the State's bills and payrolls. It manages, verifies and reviews State agency financial transactions. The Department also advises and supervises the fiscal affairs of local governments, invests State funds and is responsible for the administration of the New York State Retirement Program for State and many local government employees.

Year-to-Year Change

The Executive requests $220,588,400 for State Fiscal Year 20001-02, a net increase of $26,592,300 from current State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2000-01 level. This increase reflects an additional $20,807,800 for State Operations and an increase of $888,000 in Aid to Localities.

Legislative Proposals

The Assembly proposes an audit of the existing prevailing wage enforcement program to be conduced by the Department of Audit and Control. The audit would include a review of the current utilization of inspectors, inspection procedures, training of inspectors, and a determination of the adequacy of funding for the program and the funding mechanism.
