Audit suggests state’s debt collection be moved from controller to governor’s office
CARSON CITY — A state audit released Monday recommended Nevada’s debt collection efforts be transferred to the governor’s office from the state controller because of chronic problems, some dating back decades, and lack of confidence in the office to recoup unpaid bills.
The executive branch audit listed seven recommendations, including automating a complicated process and turning over the debt collection duties to the Governor’s Office of Finance.
Recouping money owed to the state has fallen dramatically in recent years, from a high of nearly $2.3 million in 2013 to a low of $293,000 for the fiscal year that ends next week, records show.
As of last year, the state’s total uncollected debt was $573 million. Not surprisingly, the state agency with the largest debt over 60 days old is the Department of Taxation, which is owed $209 million.
