§ 74899 Commission Audit And Reporting

• •The commission must keep good records of all its work.
• •Every year, an outside company checks these records to make sure everything is correct.
• •A short report of this check is sent to producers, the Legislature, and the department.
• •The secretary can also do extra checks if they think it's needed.

Imagine a school club that sells cookies to raise money.

The club must write down how much money they make and spend. Every year, someone outside the club checks their notes to make sure they didn't make mistakes. Then, they tell everyone in the club, the school principal, and the teachers how the money was used. If the principal thinks something is wrong, they can check the club's notes again.
