2023 New York Laws › EXC - Executive › Article 42 - Waterfront Revitalization of Coastal Areas and Inland Waterways › 910 - Legislative Findings.

§ 910. Legislative  findings.  The  legislature  hereby finds that New
  York state's coastal area and inland waterways are unique with a variety
  of natural, recreational, industrial, commercial, ecological,  cultural,
  aesthetic and energy resources of statewide and national significance.
The  resources  of  the state's coastal areas and inland waterways are
  increasingly subject to the pressures of population growth and  economic
  development,   which   include   requirements  for  industry,  commerce,
  residential development, recreation and for the  production  of  energy.
  These  competing  demands  result in the loss of living marine resources
  and wildlife, the diminution of open  space  areas,  shoreline  erosion,
  permanent,  adverse changes to ecological systems and a loss of economic
  opportunities.
The social and economic well-being and  the  general  welfare  of  the
  people  of  the  state  are  critically dependent upon the preservation,
  enhancement, protection, development and use of the natural and man-made
  resources of the state's coastal area and inland waterways.
The legislature further finds that it is in the interest of the people
  of the state that coordinated and comprehensive policy and planning  for
  preservation,  enhancement,  protection,  development  and  use  of  the
  state's coastal and inland waterway resources take place to  insure  the
  proper balance between natural resources and the need to accommodate the
  needs of population growth and economic development.

§ 951. Internal  control  responsibilities.  1. The head of each state
  agency shall:
a. establish and maintain for the agency guidelines for  a  system  of
  internal  control  that are in accordance with this article and internal
  control standards;
b. establish and maintain for the agency a system of internal  control
  and  a  program  of  internal  control  review.  The program of internal
  control  review  shall  be  designed  to   identify   internal   control
  weaknesses,   identify   actions   that  are  needed  to  correct  these
  weaknesses, monitor the implementation of necessary  corrective  actions
  and  periodically  assess  the adequacy of the agency's ongoing internal
  control;
c. make available to each officer and employee of the agency  a  clear
  and  concise  statement  of the generally applicable management policies
  and standards with which the officer or employee of such agency shall be
  expected to comply. Such statement shall  emphasize  the  importance  of
  effective  internal control to the agency and the responsibility of each
  officer and employee for effective internal control;
d. designate an internal control officer, who shall report to the head
  of  the  agency,  to  implement  and   review   the   internal   control
  responsibilities established pursuant to this section;

2. In order to identify all state agencies and their  responsibilities
  for  the  purposes  of  implementing the provisions of this article, the
  director of the division  of  the  budget  shall  issue  and  update  as
  necessary a schedule which lists all covered state agencies.
2023 New York Laws › EXC - Executive › Article 45 - Internal Control Responsibilities of State Agencies › 952 - Internal Audit Responsibilities.

§ 952. Internal   audit  responsibilities.  1.  The  director  of  the
  division of the budget, after reviewing the evaluation of  the  head  of
  each  state  agency as to the need for an internal audit function, shall
  issue and, at the director's discretion, periodically revise a  schedule
  of  state  agencies  (other than the department of audit and control and
  the department of law) which are required to establish and  maintain  an
  internal  audit  function.  The  comptroller and the attorney general or
  their  designees  shall  determine,   and   periodically   review   such
  determination  of,  whether  an  internal  audit  function  within their
  respective departments is required. Establishment of such function shall
  be based upon an evaluation of exposure to risk, costs and  benefits  of
  implementation,  and  any  other  factors  that  are  determined  to  be
  relevant. The head of each state agency listed in the budget  director's
  schedule,  and the comptroller and the attorney general if they or their
  designees so determine, shall establish an internal audit function which
  operates in accordance with generally  accepted  professional  standards
  for  internal  auditing.  Any  such  internal  audit  function  shall be
  directed by an internal audit director who shall report directly to  the
  head  of  such state agency. Notwithstanding any other provision of law,
  each internal audit director shall be appointed by the head of the state
  agency  based  on  appropriate  internal  auditing  credentials  of  the
  proposed  appointee,  consistent  with  generally accepted standards for
  internal auditing, including internal auditing education and experience.
  The position of internal audit director shall be an exempt position  and
  except in the case of the department of audit and control and department
  of  law,  such  appointment  shall  be  subject  to  the approval of the
  director of the budget. For agencies for which an independent  audit  is
  not  required  pursuant  to  sections  nine hundred fifty-three and nine
  hundred fifty-four of this article, the internal  audit  function  shall
  evaluate  the  agency's  internal  controls and operations. The internal
  audit function shall also identify internal control weaknesses that have
  not been corrected and make recommendations to correct these weaknesses.
2. In the event the head of a  state  agency  does  not  establish  an
  internal  audit function pursuant to subdivision one of this section, he
  or she shall nevertheless establish and maintain the program of internal
  control review required  by  section  nine  hundred  fifty-one  of  this
  article.

  accountants all books and records relevant to such independent audits.

  accountants for audits of the internal controls of the executive chamber

  departments' internal controls are  established  and  functioning  in  a
  manner  that provides reasonable assurance that they meet the objectives
  of internal control as defined in section nine  hundred  fifty  of  this
  article.  The report shall identify the internal controls both evaluated
  and not evaluated and shall identify internal  control  weaknesses  that
  have  not  been  corrected  and  actions that are recommended to correct
  these  weaknesses.  If  any  such  internal   control   weaknesses   are
  significant   or   material   with  respect  to  such  departments,  the
  independent auditors shall so state. The comptroller  and  the  attorney
  general  shall  make available to the public the results of such audits,

  and  price  factors,  of  those  proposals  received in response to such
  requests for proposals.
