Amend appropriation act language to account for entertainment expenses |
Decision Package |
|
|
Amends language relating to the collection and expenditure of entertainment expenses by the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts to comply with recommendations of the Auditor of Public Accounts (APA). Previously, private donations and other funds expended for entertainment purposes were held in local accounts outside of the state treasury. As a component of the museum’s efforts to address recommendations from the APA, these local funds will now be deposited with the State Treasury and the expenditure will be recorded in the state's accounting system. |
