DiNapoli Announces State Contract and Payment Actions for August 2014
Targeted News Service |
State Comptroller
As the state's chief financial officer, DiNapoli's office reviews contracts for all state agencies and certain contracts for state public authorities and audits all state payments. This independent review ensures that costs are reasonable, the playing field is level and taxpayers get the best value for their money. The independent audits ensure payments are free from fraud, waste and improprieties. The Comptroller's office averages 11 days for contract reviews and two days to audit payments.
DiNapoli releases this monthly notice to provide current information about the number and types of contracts and payments entered into by the state. This builds on his commitment to added transparency via his Open Book New York website.
