Audits may be performed by the Auditor's staff or by a firm registered with the State Auditor and selected by the County, unless the State Auditor decides to hire a firm. In the event the State Auditor hires a firm, the county will be billed by the State Auditor for the firm's services. Payments made for these services will be made to the State Auditor, who will in turn pay the firm.
