Cal. Gov. Code § 12460
The Controller shall submit an annual report to the Governor containing a statement of the funds of the state, its revenues, and the public expenditures during the preceding fiscal year. The annual report shall be known as the budgetary-legal basis annual report and prepared in a manner that will account for prior year adjustments, fund balances, encumbrances, deferred payroll, revenues, expenditures, and other components on the same basis as that of the applicable Governor's Budget and the applicable Budget Act, as determined by the Director of Finance in consultation with the Controller. If the Governor's Budget or the Budget Act does not provide the applicable information for this purpose, funds shall be accounted for in the budgetary-legal basis annual report in a manner prescribed by Section 13344. The requirements of this section shall apply beginning with the issuance of the budgetary-legal basis annual report for the 2013-14 fiscal year. The Controller shall confer with the Department of Finance to propose and develop methods to facilitate these changes pursuant to Section 13344, including methods to ensure that information related to encumbrances and deferred payroll continue to be listed in the state's financial statements, as deemed appropriate by the Controller.
The Controller shall also issue a comprehensive annual financial report prepared strictly in accordance with "Generally Accepted Accounting Principles."
The annual reports referenced in this section shall be compiled and published by the Controller in the time, form, and manner prescribed by him or her.
