§ RS 38:323. Maintenance of records of general fixed assets

Each levee board and levee and drainage board shall maintain records of all land, buildings, improvements other than buildings, equipment, and any other general fixed assets which were purchased or otherwise acquired and for which such entity is accountable.  The records shall include information as to the date of purchase of such property or equipment, the initial cost, the disposition, if any, the purpose of such disposition, and the recipient of the property or equipment disposed of.  When ascertaining the exact cost, exact selling price, or any other relevant information on property or equipment obtained prior to January 1, 1980, creates a hardship on the agency involved, such agency may provide estimates of the information which cannot be ascertained.  The records shall be made available to the legislative auditor at the time of examination and audit of the public entity or at any such time as the legislative auditor requests that copies of such records be furnished.  The records shall not include office supplies and shall be used as one of the criteria in determining the rating which the entity being audited will be given.  The provisions of this Section shall become effective June 30, 1986.
