However, the Chief Fiscal Officer of the State shall consult the Legislative Joint Auditing Committee before proposing, adopting, or recommending compliance with any of the generally accepted accounting principles that conflict with law. It is further recognized that the state accounting system should comply with recognized principles of accounting for and reporting of public moneys in order to properly and fairly discharge to the taxpayers our responsibility of adequately accounting for their moneys.
