About this statute

This part defines key terms used in the Financial Administration Act, including public money, public officer, public agency, and fiscal year. This part sets out who manages government finances, how public agencies must budget and report, and what accounting and control systems must be in place. This part sets budgeting, audit, reporting, internal audit, public money, investments, loans, fees, deductions, compromises, and write-off rules for government and public agencies. This provision limits who can forgive government debts and tax penalties, allows some forgiveness or remission by the Board or Commissioner, and sets reporting and budget-control rules for expenditures, disbursements, and fund transfers. This part restricts spending, contracting, borrowing, guarantees, and special-fund disbursements unless required certifications or approvals are in place.
