Uniform County Audit System Proposed in Kansas Legislature
A bill by Alasper V. Kincaid would empower the state accountant to install a uniform county bookkeeping system and audit county officers, with counties bearing audit costs. State departments could have bookkeeping changes, subject to the State Auditor, while Governor Capper’s audit recommendations would be superseded. The measure aims to extend supervisory authority over county clerks and treasurers, and parallels a utilities commission review expected in the 1915 session.
