Kentucky. Auditor of Public Accounts
The Office of Auditor of Public Accounts was first created as a constitutional office by the 1850 Constitution of Kentucky. The provision for the election of an Auditor, whose duties would be prescribed by statute, began in this document and still appears in the current Constitution adopted in 1891. The duties of the Auditor are found in KRS Chapter 43 and include the right to investigate all state and county officials authorized to handle state funds or who manage or control state property or who make estimates or records that are used as a basis for disbursement of state funds. The organization units within this agency are the Office of the State Auditor; the Office of Legal and Audit Support Services; Office of Planning and Management; Office of Technology and Special Audits; and Division of Financial Audit.
