The state audit offices of the district offices, like the Bavarian Municipal Audit Association, are bodies of municipal financial control.
In the case of members of the Bavarian Municipal Audit Association, the supra-local audits of accounts and cash registers are carried out by this association; in the case of other municipalities, they are carried out by the state audit offices of the district offices (supra-local audit bodies).
The respective audit is generally not a complete audit; it is usually limited to an appropriate number of audit areas and random samples. When selecting the audit areas, the scope, difficulty and financial significance of the various audit areas must be taken into account. The audit method and scope are left to the dutiful discretion of the auditors within the framework of the relevant regulations.
Cash audits examine the proper execution of cash transactions, the proper set-up of the cash registers and the cooperation with the administration.
The audit is intended to ensure that the municipality handles the funds entrusted to it properly, economically and efficiently.
