  • (1)  Subject to any agreement with
      bondholders or noteholders or except as otherwise authorized or provided
      in this act, all moneys of the agency from whatever source derived shall
      be paid to the comptroller of the agency and shall be  invested  in  any
      investments  approved or authorized in accordance with the provisions of
      section ninety-eight of the  state  finance  law.  The  moneys  in  such
      accounts shall be paid by the comptroller or other agent duly designated
      by  the  agency  on requisition of the chairman of the agency or of such
      other person or persons  as  the  agency  may  authorize  to  make  such
      requisitions.  All  deposits  of  such moneys, shall, if required by the
      agency, be secured by (i) obligations of the United States of America or
      of the state of a market value equal at all times to the amount  of  the
      deposit  and  all  banks and trust companies are authorized to give such
      security for such deposits or (ii) in such other manner  as  the  agency
      may  require.  The  obligations  securing  such deposits shall either be
      deposited with the comptroller of the agency or be held by a trustee  or
      agent  satisfactory  to  the  agency.  The  comptroller  or  his legally
      authorized representatives are authorized and  empowered  from  time  to
      time  to  examine  the  accounts  and books of the agency, including its
      receipts, disbursements, contracts, leases, sinking  funds,  investments
      and any other records and papers relating to its financial standing.
        (2) The agency shall have power to contract with holders of any of its
      bonds or notes, as to the custody, collection, securing, investment, and
      payment  of  any  moneys  of  the agency, of any moneys held in trust or
      otherwise for the payment of bonds or  notes,  and  to  carry  out  such
      contract.  Moneys held in trust or otherwise for the payment of bonds or
      notes or in any way to secure bonds or notes and deposits of such moneys
      may be secured in the same manner as moneys of the agency, and all banks
      and trust companies are  authorized  to  give  such  security  for  such
      deposits.
        (3)  Subject  to  the  provisions  of any contract with bondholders or
      noteholders and to the approval of the  comptroller,  the  agency  shall
      prescribe a system of accounts.
        (4)  The  agency  shall submit to the governor, chairman of the senate
      finance committee, chairman of the assembly ways and means committee and
      the comptroller, within thirty  days  of  the  receipt  thereof  by  the
      agency,  a copy of the report of every external examination of the books
      and accounts of the agency other than copies  of  the  reports  of  such
      examinations made by the comptroller.
