54-44-01. Responsibility of the office of management and budget

The office of management and budget is to be a central authority, vested with the control

and supervision of the fiscal administration of the executive branch of the government, and is

directly responsible to the governor. The office of the state auditor has the primary responsibility

of conducting a true independent postaudit of all the executive departments and agencies. The

responsibility of collecting additional taxes is consolidated and vested in the office of the state

tax commissioner.
