§ 213. Special audits.

Either the Council or the County Executive may at any time order the examination or audit of the accounts of any department, office or agency receiving funds from the County government. Upon the death, resignation, removal or expiration of the term of any County administrative officers, the County Auditor shall cause an audit and investigation of the accounts maintained by the officer, and by his or her department, office or agency, to be made. The County Auditor shall report the results of his audit to the County Executive and the Council, and copies shall be made available to the public and press no later than four months after the ordering of the audit. If, as a result of any such audit, an officer shall be found to be indebted to the County, the County Executive shall proceed forthwith to collect the indebtedness. All actions of the Council pursuant to this section shall be exempt from the executive veto.
