Annual audit

Each year an audit must be made of the accounts of the jail authority, and for this purpose authorized agents of a certified public accounting firm appointed by the directors have access to all necessary papers, books and records. Upon the completion of each audit, a report must be made to the chair of the jail authority board of directors and a copy must be sent to the commissioners of each county. The audit must be completed within 60 days of the end of the authority's fiscal year.
