Opinions of Attorney General
Pursuant to this section, the provisions of G.S. 147-64.7(a)(1) supersede the provisions of G.S. 126-24 to the extent they conflict. Specifically, the Auditor's power to examine documents in the course of an authorized audit includes the power to examine confidential employee personnel files relevant to that audit without the consent of the employee or his employer. See opinion of Attorney General to The Honorable Ralph Campbell, Jr., State Auditor, 1999 N.C.A.G. 8 (3/5/99).
