N.Y. Pub. Auth. Law § 364
All moneys of the authority from whatever source derived shall be paid to the comptroller as agent of the authority, who shall not commingle such moneys with any other moneys. Such moneys shall be deposited in a separate bank account or accounts. The moneys in such accounts shall be paid out on check of the comptroller on requisition of the chairman of the authority or of such other person as the authority may authorize to make such requisition. All deposits of such moneys shall, if required by the comptroller or the authority, be secured by obligations of the United States or of the state of New York of a market value equal at all times to the amount of the deposit and all banks and trust companies are authorized to give such security for such deposits. The comptroller and his legally authorized representatives are hereby authorized and empowered from time to time to examine the accounts and books of the authority, including its receipts, disbursements, contracts, leases, sinking funds, investments and any other matters relating to its financial standing.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, the authority shall have power, subject to the approval of the comptroller, to contract with the holders of any of its notes or bonds as to the custody, collection, securing, investment and payment of any moneys of the authority, or any moneys held in trust or otherwise for the payment of notes or bonds or in any way to secure notes or bonds, and to carry out any such contract. Moneys held in trust or otherwise for the payment of notes or bonds or in any way to secure notes or bonds and deposits of such moneys may be secured in the same manner as moneys of the authority, and all banks and trust companies are authorized to give such security for such deposits.
Moneys of the authority not required for immediate use may, in the discretion of the authority, be invested by the comptroller in obligations in which the comptroller may invest pursuant to section ninety-eight-a of the state finance law.
Subject to agreements with noteholders and bondholders and the approval of the comptroller, the authority shall prescribe a system of accounts.
