The Auditor General Department's position, in consultation with the Office of State Fire Commissioner is final and will be handled as follows: verbal observation issued for the first audit that the unauthorized expenditure is identified, and a written finding in subsequent audit reports if not corrected, up to and including potential withholding of funds if so decided by the Auditor General. The Office of the State Fire Commissioner will receive notice of any audit findings.
