NRS 354.6245
Review of annual audits by Department of Taxation

  • referral of accountant who issued noncompliant audit to Nevada State Board of Accountancy
  • plan of correction of violations.

1.

The Department of Taxation shall review each annual audit to determine whether it complies with regulations adopted pursuant to NRS 354.594. Any independent auditor’s report, whether upon financial position and results of operations or upon internal financial controls, which the Department believes may not comply with those regulations must be referred by the Department to the Nevada State Board of Accountancy for investigation and such action in respect to the issuing accountant as the Board may find appropriate in the circumstances.

2.

In its review of the annual audits submitted, the Department shall identify all violations of statute and regulation reported therein. Within 60 days after the delivery of the annual audit to the local government, the governing body shall advise the Department what action has been taken to prevent recurrence of each violation of law or regulation or to correct each continuing violation. The Department shall evaluate the local government’s proposed plan of correction and, if the plan is satisfactory, shall so advise the governing body. If the plan is not satisfactory, the Department shall advise the governing body that it deems the plan inadequate and propose an alternative plan. Within 30 days thereafter the governing body shall report its assent to the Department’s plan or request a hearing before the Nevada Tax Commission. This hearing must be held at the next meeting of the Commission, but the hearing must not be held more than 90 days after such a request is received. The determination of the Nevada Tax Commission is final.

3.

If the governing body fails to submit a proposed plan of correction pursuant to subsection 2, or the Executive Director of the Department of Taxation determines that the plan established is not being complied with, he or she must, through the Office of the Attorney General, seek a writ from a court of competent jurisdiction to compel compliance.
