(a) The State's accounting system is maintained by the Comptroller in compliance with State Law and in accordance with the State's Budgetary Funds. In addition to the accounting system maintained by the Comptroller, certain individual agencies, which are not subject to the State's budget, maintain accounting systems which are required to be included to properly present the State's financial reporting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. 4.
