Michigan HB5693 mandates biannual audits of county drain commissioner offices by independent auditors.

Michigan HB5693 amends the Michigan Drain Code to require biannual audits of county drain commissioner offices. These audits, conducted by independent auditors designated by the attorney general, must examine the books, records, accounts, and funds of the drain commissioner and the county drains and drainage districts. The audits also assess the performance of the drain commissioner's duties. The auditor must prepare a report of the findings and file copies with the board of county commissioners and the county clerk, who retains the report.
