One priority of this office has always been finding the most
efficient and effective method of accounting for the state's money.
But the fact remains that there is no one way to do anything.
And, until now, there has been nothing to compel other state
agencies to use any particular accounting method.
But that's about to change.
The Legislature has given this office the job of setting uni-
form accounting and financial reporting procedures for all state
agencies, colleges and universities.
New procedures will follow Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (GAAP). We will publish a new financial report in-
cluding an accounting of agencies' spending authority and en-
cumbered funds--which are funds an agency has committed to
spend but has not yet spent.
Legislation has also been passed creating a Uniform State-
wide Accounting Committee to help draw up a pilot program
and away to implement an automated uniform accounting system.
My office also has been charged with implementing a state-
wide payroll system beginning in September 1988 as the first
step in a uniform accounting system.
In addition, the Governor has appointed a task force to study
audit performance, study payroll and purchasing systems and
look at how data processing equipment is used.
These are important steps toward increasing the efficiency of
state government. Once all of the state's agencies are speaking
the same language, we can't help but save time and energy.O
