charge or claim has been erroneously or improperly approved, allowed or paid out

this end he may employ assistants and experts to assist in examining the fee bills,
accounts, settlements, credits and claims, and the books, records and papers of any
of the officers of the Commonwealth.
(3) Institute the necessary actions to collect and cause the payment into the Treasury of
all unsatisfied claims, demands, accounts and judgments in favor of the
Commonwealth, except where specific statutory authority is given the Department
of Revenue to do so.
(4) Comply with KRS 48.005, if any funds of any kind or nature whatsoever are
recovered by or on behalf of the Commonwealth, in any legal action, including an
ex rel. action in which the Attorney General has entered an appearance or is a party
