decisions. The study should include at a minimum the following: (1)
analysis of the current structure and processes for state government
accounting and assessment of the adequacy of current system output; (2)
recommendations to streamline state government accounting processes and
improve system output; (3) cost estimate to implement streamlining and
automation of accounting processes; and (4) estimate of recurring cost
savings to be achieved from streamlining accounting processes. The
