Full Text of § 9-7-11

Text size

Upon filing his report, the auditor shall give both parties or their counsel written notice thereof.

Plain-English Summary

Filing the report is not the last step for the auditor. This section requires the auditor to give both parties or their counsel written notice once the report is filed, so neither side is left to discover the filing on its own.

That notice carries weight beyond simple courtesy. The 20-day window for filing exceptions in 9-7-14 runs from when the report is filed and notice is given to the parties, which makes this notice requirement the trigger for the entire exceptions timeline that follows.
