§ 12415 Account Verification Under Oath

• •The Controller can ask you to swear (promise to tell the truth) if you're asking for money from the state.
• •You might have to answer questions, either by talking or writing, about the money you're asking for.
• •This is to make sure you're not lying about why you should get the money.

You run a small business and send a bill to the state for work you did.

The Controller might ask you to come in and answer questions under oath (like in court) to prove your bill is real and correct. If you lie, you could get in big trouble.
