Proposed by Astalot, seconded by Semmerholm.

Overview

Date

  • Passed Spring 377YE (Event Two 2013).

Cost

  • None

Legal Ramifications

  • This position has a responsibility to investigate Senate expenditure and report to the Senate
  • The Senate has not chosen to assign any legal authority to this position
  • The Senate has not chosen to assign a stipend to this position

The civil service opinion is that there are a range of legal powers that might have been considered appropriate to this position. As the title is assigned by the Synod, the auditor could have been granted the authority to use inquisition on members of the Imperial Senate. The position could have been given the authority to address the Senate. Additional Senate votes would now be required to grant any additional powers to this position.

Election

  • Synod General Assembly Appointment

The title is elected by the General Assembly of the Imperial Synod, and once chosen will serve for life, until they resign or until revoked by the General Assembly or Assembly of Nine.

The first election of the Auditor of Senatorial Accountability takes place at the Autumn Equinox 377YE.
