Indiana Public Accounting Bill Aims to Curb Graft
County senators voiced unanimous support as the public accounting bill proposed by Benator Bland moves toward a Senate hearing this week. The measure would create a state examining bureau with bi partisan board options and require biannual examinations of all public offices plus random unannounced audits to deter careless officials. The Ohio law is cited as a model, with broad belief the bill will pass substantially as written.
