At its\n         first session, which convened on 7 October 1776, the General\n         Assembly passed an act creating a board of three auditors to\n         examine and settle claims concerning receipts and expenditures\n         for military purposes. The confusing financial situation of\n         the state, however, resulted in a series of acts being passed\n         over the next fifteen years elaborating and refining the\n         duties of the auditors. Finally, at its session begun in\n         November 1791, the General Assembly passed an act that\n         combined the duties of the board of auditors and the solicitor\n         general, whose office had been created in 1785 to settle the\n         accounts of the state with the United States, and assigned\n         them to a single auditor of public accounts effective 1\n         January 1792. The auditor soon became the most powerful fiscal\n         officer in the state. All receipts and disbursements were made\n         only upon his warrant to the treasurer, and his books were the\n         standard against which those of the treasurer were\n         checked.","The first changes were made as the accounts of the\n            revolutionary era were settled. As the state moved into a\n            period of steady financial and governmental growth in the\n            nineteenth century, the number of accounts and funds\n            maintained by the auditor became excessive. Thus, on 24\n            February 1823 the General Assembly passed an act creating\n            the office of the second auditor to ease the auditor's\n            burden. Although the second auditor handled several large\n            special funds, the auditor continued to be responsible for\n            most of the accounts concerning the daily operation of\n            state government.","The first changes were made as the accounts of the\n            revolutionary era were settled.

Finally, at its session begun in\n         November 1791, the General Assembly passed an act that\n         combined the duties of the board of auditors and the solicitor\n         general, whose office had been created in 1785 to settle the\n         accounts of the state with the United States, and assigned\n         them to a single auditor of public accounts effective 1\n         January 1792.

The confusing financial situation of\n         the state, however, resulted in a series of acts being passed\n         over the next fifteen years elaborating and refining the\n         duties of the auditors. Finally, at its session begun in\n         November 1791, the General Assembly passed an act that\n         combined the duties of the board of auditors and the solicitor\n         general, whose office had been created in 1785 to settle the\n         accounts of the state with the United States, and assigned\n         them to a single auditor of public accounts effective 1\n         January 1792. The auditor soon became the most powerful fiscal\n         officer in the state.

At its\n         first session, which convened on 7 October 1776, the General\n         Assembly passed an act creating a board of three auditors to\n         examine and settle claims concerning receipts and expenditures\n         for military purposes. The confusing financial situation of\n         the state, however, resulted in a series of acts being passed\n         over the next fifteen years elaborating and refining the\n         duties of the auditors. Finally, at its session begun in\n         November 1791, the General Assembly passed an act that\n         combined the duties of the board of auditors and the solicitor\n         general, whose office had been created in 1785 to settle the\n         accounts of the state with the United States, and assigned\n         them to a single auditor of public accounts effective 1\n         January 1792. The auditor soon became the most powerful fiscal\n         officer in the state. All receipts and disbursements were made\n         only upon his warrant to the treasurer, and his books were the\n         standard against which those of the treasurer were\n         checked.","The first changes were made as the accounts of the\n            revolutionary era were settled. As the state moved into a\n            period of steady financial and governmental growth in the\n            nineteenth century, the number of accounts and funds\n            maintained by the auditor became excessive. Thus, on 24\n            February 1823 the General Assembly passed an act creating\n            the office of the second auditor to ease the auditor's\n            burden. Although the second auditor handled several large\n            special funds, the auditor continued to be responsible for\n            most of the accounts concerning the daily operation of\n            state government.","The first changes were made as the accounts of the\n            revolutionary era were settled.
