§ 16557 Controller Audit Of Funds

• •The Controller checks how schools and counties spend their money to make sure it's used the right way.
• •They look at the books and records to see if the money went to what it was supposed to.
• •This is to stop people from using school money for things that aren't allowed.

A school gets money from the state to buy new books for students.

The Controller might check the school's records to make sure they actually bought books and didn't spend the money on something else, like a fancy car for the principal.
