BILL NUMBER:S4556 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the education law, in relation to making internal audit functions optional by school districts unless an audit by the comptroller reveals deficiencies PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To reduce the duplicative and onerous requirement of mandatory internal annual audits. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section 1 - amends subdivisions one, two and seven of section 2116-b of the Education Law, as added by Chapter 263 of the Laws of 2005 and to add a new subdivision eight to change the requirement mandated by current law for school districts to perform internal audits annually. Subdivision 1, 2 and 7 remove the requirement for annual review and update of the internal audit function. New section 8 provides that the internal audit function will be optional for school districts, unless a deficiency is found by the Comptroller's Office in one of their regular audits, in which case, the school district would be required to perform bi- annual internal audits until the next Comptroller's audit. Section 2 - provides that this act shall take effect on the first day
