The Working Group wishes to express its deep seated appreciation for the efforts and assistance provided by numerous personnel of the Office of the Comptroller of Public Accounts. Without the data and other analyses provided by Comptroller personnel, it would have been impossible to characterize and gather the current policies of the Comptroller on these activities.
However, all the views expressed herein, except for the specific references to Comptroller authorities, are the views of the Working Group and do not necessarily express the views, recommendations or legislative programs of the Comptroller of Public Accounts or any of the personnel employed by that office.
