Virginia. State Accountant

The position of state accountant was created by an act passed by the General Assembly on 14 March 1910. Among his duties, the accountant audited the financial records of local governments, partly at local expense. He sent statements of expenses to the auditor of public accounts who then billed the localities. Because audits were required by law, the state divided their costs equally with the localities.

From the description of Statements for auditing the books of county and city governments by the state accountant, 1915-1927. (Unknown). WorldCat record id: 122653796
