The Idaho State Controller is one of seven statewide elected constitutional officers in the executive branch of Idaho state government and serves a four-year term. In 1994, a constitutional amendment passed by Idaho voters changed the name of the State Auditor to State Controller. This amendment granted the State Controller the authority to establish statewide internal pre-audit accounting controls to ensure state funds are spent properly. The amendment transferred post-audit functions to the Legislative Services Office enabling separation of accounting and after-the-fact auditing operations. The State Controller is the chief fiscal officer of the state of Idaho, responsible for: - Maintaining all accounting and financial records; - Paying all the state’s bills and employees; - Preparing the state’s annual financial report; and - Operating the state’s Computer Service Center. To accomplish its constitutional functions, the State Controller’s Office employs a variety of professionals. Visit our website to learn more today!
