§ 1094 Officer Account Affidavit Requirement

Key Takeaways

  • •If you work for the state, county, or city and handle money, you must promise in writing that you followed the rules.
  • •If you lie in that promise on purpose, you can go to jail for a long time, just like if you lied in court.
  • •The person checking your work must make sure you signed this promise before they approve your money stuff.

Example

A city worker is in charge of buying supplies for the school. They spend some of the money on a fancy vacation instead of school stuff.

Before the city approves their spending, the worker must sign a paper saying they didn’t break any rules. If they sign it even though they know they lied about the vacation, they can be punished like they committed a serious crime.
