§ 13297 State Auditor Treasury Counting

• •The State Auditor must count the money in the Treasury at least twice a year, without telling the Treasurer when it will happen.
• •The State Auditor can put money in bags or boxes, seal them, and mark how much is inside.
• •At the next count, the State Auditor can count the sealed bags or boxes as they are, without opening them, if the seal is still intact.

Imagine you have a piggy bank, and your mom checks how much money is in it twice a year without telling you when she will check.

Your mom can put some of the money in small bags, write how much is in each bag, and seal them. The next time she checks, she can count the sealed bags as they are, without opening them, if the seal is not broken.
