# Pulaski County Comptroller's Office The financial-accounting office of [[Pulaski County]] government. On the County's standard Contract Approval Routing form, the Comptroller (often shown as "Comptroller/Admin") is the third signature in the chain — after Originating Department and Grants Administration (if grant-funded) and before Purchasing or interleaved with it — confirming that funds are available in the line-item budget account being charged. The signature is the financial-availability check. For the surveillance investigation, the Comptroller's signature appears on the Flock contract routing forms (Contract 6764 family) and the PSN-grant routing forms (Contract 6228 family). The signatures are not legible from the OCR. ## People (No identified individual; the office's personnel are not surfaced in the production beyond the signature space on the routing form.) ## Roles in this corpus - **Verifies funding availability.** For the Flock contract, the Comptroller signed off that **$24,678.00** was available in account `3015-0400-3073` — the general-fund line on which the Flock procurement was charged. - **Categorizes federal grant spending.** For the PSN18 grant closeout, the DFA-IGS Year-End Financial Report categorized all PCSO grant spending as **Capital Outlay** ($75,269.29 of $75,500). The Comptroller's role in classifying the spending category between Salaries / Mandated Benefits / Maintenance and Operations / Professional Services / Travel / Training / Equipment / Capital Outlay is the financial-reporting backbone of the grant compliance. ## Notes - The Comptroller's Office is functionally distinct from a Treasurer's office or a Finance Director (in Arkansas county government, these are separate elected or appointed roles). The corpus does not separately surface a Treasurer or a Finance Director; the corpus's "Comptroller/Admin" signature space on the County routing form is the visible artifact. - A typical follow-up question for surveillance-investigation contexts would be: is there a Pulaski County Comptroller's policy on whether ALPR camera lease payments are categorized as operational (recurring fund) or capital (equipment) spending? The 30-day-retention plate-read data has neither clear physical asset value nor straightforward accounting category. The corpus does not resolve this question. - The County's standard procurement chain (Department → Grants Admin → Purchasing → Comptroller → County Attorney → Judge) puts the Comptroller after the Purchasing signature but before the County Attorney signature on the Pulaski County form template. This sequence implies that funding-availability check precedes legal review.
