History

The OAG is responsible for conducting annual financial and compliance audits, which monitor state agency productivity and performance. The OAG also develops uniform accounting systems for counties, community college districts, school districts and charter schools and helps state agencies to improve and oversee their operations. The OAG is under the direction of JLAC and is divided into three divisions. The OAG’s three divisions are Financial Audit, Performance Audit and Accounting Services with support services from Professional Practice and Information Technology Services and Administration.

The OAG has a separate list of powers and duties relating to counties, school districts and community colleges in ARS §41-1279.21.

Flood control districts are established in ARS §48-3602 and their purpose is to regulate and maintain floodplains with monies earned from taxes, donations, exchanges and investments. The floodplains are areas connected to channels of watercourses where drainage is or could be restricted by man-made structures.
