Colorado Revised Statutes Title 24. Government State § 24-77-103.5. Legislative declaration--correction of errors--authority of the controller and auditor

(1) The general assembly finds and declares that ascertaining compliance with the provisions of section 20 of article X of the state constitution requires that accurate calculations be made of state fiscal year spending. The general assembly further finds and declares that it is reasonable to account for any errors in calculating state fiscal year spending by authorizing the controller to make equivalent adjustments in state fiscal year spending for the fiscal year in which such errors are discovered in accordance with the provisions of this subsection (1).

(2) For purposes of section 24-77-103, for any given fiscal year, if the controller discovers an error involving a prior fiscal year by whatever means available affecting the calculation of state fiscal year spending, the controller may correct such error by increasing or decreasing in an appropriate amount the allowable state fiscal year spending for the fiscal year in which such error is discovered, subject to a review of such adjustment by the state auditor.
