§ 7-7-45. Financial reports.

The State Fiscal Officer shall be required to make the following reports: The State Fiscal Officer shall, within sixty (60) days after the adjournment of the Legislature, prepare and furnish to the State Auditor a full statement of all moneys expended at such session, specifying the items and amount of each item, and to whom and for what paid, in order that the Auditor may publish the amounts of all appropriations, all as prescribed by Section 113 of the Constitution. Sufficient copies of the report shall be made available to members of the Legislature, state officials, departments, institutions and agencies of the state government, as may be requested by such individual or department; and such others are to be made available for distribution as the State Fiscal Officer or Governor may determine. The State Fiscal Officer shall, within fifteen (15) days after the commencement of every regular session of the Legislature, make to it a special report on the fiscal affairs of the state as of January 1 of the then current year. The State Fiscal Officer shall prepare the comprehensive annual financial report as provided for in Section 27-104-4. In addition to the other reports herein required, it shall be the duty of the State Fiscal Officer to have available in the State Fiscal Officer’s office, for the use of the Governor, the Legislature, the Legislative Budget Office and any other persons, daily reports of each fund account which the State Fiscal Officer is required to maintain, showing thereon balances brought forward, receipts to date, net expenditures to date, the unexpended balances, the amount of unpaid purchase orders, and the unencumbered balances. In addition thereto, the State Fiscal Officer shall be required to have available in its office reports of appropriation accounts, showing thereon the amount appropriated for each purpose, the amount of warrants issued to date, the unexpended appropriation balance, the amount of unpaid purchase orders, and the unencumbered appropriation balance for each such account. Nothing herein shall be construed as preventing the State Fiscal Officer from making such other financial reports, and at such other time as it may deem advisable or for the best interests of the state; nor shall this section be construed as authority for discontinuing any other reports required by law. The cost of printing such reports of the State Fiscal Officer, as required herein, shall be paid from the appropriation made for that purpose.
