A.(1) The legislative auditor shall file copies of all audit reports released by his office with the governor, the attorney general, and the office investigated. For purposes of public inspection, the legislative auditor shall file copies of all audit reports prepared by his office or accepted by the legislative auditor pursuant to R.S. 24:513(A) and R.S. 46:1064(B) with the clerk of court of the parish within which the office investigated is domiciled, the parishes of East Baton Rouge and Orleans excepted. Such copies may be filed electronically; however, the legislative auditor shall make actual paper copies of such reports available to any of these officials upon their request.
(2) The period during which the clerk of court is required, under the provisions of this Subsection, to make an audit report of the legislative auditor available for public inspection shall begin on the first regular scheduled work day after expiration of three days from the time the report is filed in the office of the clerk of court and shall extend for a period of not less than one year. All such reports shall call attention to those matters required by governmental auditing standards, including reportable conditions, failure to comply with laws and regulations, and such additional matters that may be included in a management letter. Reports shall make specific recommendations for future avoidance together with management's response. If the report discloses any alleged criminal acts by any public officer or employee, the legislative auditor shall furnish an additional copy of the report to the district attorney of the parish where the offense was committed.
B. Parish governing authorities and the governing authorities of other tax recipient bodies shall notify the legislative auditor, in writing, whenever any sheriff is delinquent in his settlements.
