What the auditor of public accounts does

  • The auditor of public accounts is elected statewide at the same election as the governor, for a four-year term, and must be at least 30 and have lived in Kentucky for two years before the election. [1]
  • The office's duties are set by law, and an auditor who has served two consecutive terms cannot be re-elected for the next four years. [2]
