A 4412 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Establishes audits of state agency expenditures to recover overpayments and lost discounts

This bill requires state agencies spending over $100 million annually to undergo mandatory audits for overpayments, such as duplicate payments, missed vendor discounts, or incorrect charges like late fees or shipping costs. The comptroller will hire auditors who can recover funds and earn fees based on recovered amounts, while protecting confidential information. Agencies must provide necessary financial data for audits, and recovered money must be returned to the state or federal programs as appropriate. The comptroller must report audit findings to the governor and legislature annually.
