Funding and staffing for Arkansas Legislative Audit

Beginning July 1, 2026, the law provides about $49.98 million for Arkansas Legislative Audit through June 30, 2027. The money comes from the State Central Services Fund. It includes about $34.27 million for regular salaries, $230,400 for temporary help, and $10.27 million for employer payroll contributions. Operating expenses receive about $3.91 million, conference and travel costs $343,000, professional fees $760,000, and equipment purchases $200,000. No money is allocated to data processing. The agency can employ up to 296 regular workers in the listed job classifications and pay grades. It can also hire up to 10 temporary or part-time workers when needed. Their pay must come from temporary-help funds and cannot exceed the legally allowed rate for their job classification. Spending must stay within available funds, follow state purchasing and budget rules, and match the purposes documented during budget review.
