This report shall be open to public inspection.

(c) The comptroller of the treasury may from time to time, and shall at least once every two (2) years, examine the books and accounts of the agency.

The moneys in such accounts shall be paid out on checks signed by such officer or employee of the agency as the agency shall authorize. All accounts shall be insured by an agency of the United States government and moneys of the agency shall be deposited in such accounts only to the extent of deposit insurance for public funds.
