(A) Requiring encumbrancing documents or any other financial information to be submitted to the director to evaluate the legality of an expenditure, except that the director shall not disapprove any encumbrancing document submitted by the attorney general, auditor of state, secretary of state, or treasurer of state unless there is an insufficient unobligated balance in the appropriation or the encumbrance does not meet all other legal requirements.
