Fiscal Detail and Notes
The additional costs to the Department of Administrative and Financial Services to contract with outside auditors to recover overpayments made by all state agencies is contingent on the recovery of such payments.  Any funds recovered will be deposited in the Audit Recovery Account in the State Controller's office and will be used to pay the costs of the program.  If no recoveries are made, no expenditures will be incurred.  The amount of net savings from the bill will depend on the results of the audit process and is not estimated at this time.
