Article 1 - State Fiscal Officer
§ 7-7-41. Rules and regulations

The State Fiscal Officer may promulgate such regulations and procedures as he may deem necessary in regard to preauditing and postauditing claims and issuing warrants covering payments for construction contracts entered into by the Mississippi Department of Transportation, the Department of Finance and Administration, the State Department of Education, or by any other agency now existing or hereafter created, having control and supervision of the awarding and payment of construction contracts.
The State Fiscal Officer shall prescribe rules and regulations concerning the preauditing and postauditing of claims and the issuance of warrants and other forms of payments for all departments, institutions and agencies of the state, more particularly those coming within the provisions of Sections 7-9-41 and 7-9-43, after full discussion with the fiscal officers thereof, to the end that the most efficient overall state accounting system may be maintained. Such regulations, however, shall be of such nature and application that the State Fiscal Officer shall be able to maintain adequate records in his books of accounts of all fiscal operations of the state, and in no event shall the regular audit of the transactions of such departments, institutions and agencies by the State Department of Audit be suspended.
