He gives orders for all moneys drawn from the Treasury in
accordance with appropriations made by Congress, and submits an annual
report to Congress which contains an estimate of the probable receipts
and expenditures of the government.
The Auditors.--It is very important that the accounts of the
government should be carefully scrutinized, and one of the six
auditors connected with the Treasury Department must pass upon the
accounts of every public officer who pays out money. Thus, the
Auditor for the Treasury Department examines all accounts of
salaries and incidental expenses of the office of the Secretary of
the Treasury and all other offices under his immediate direction,
such as the Treasurer and Directors of the Mints.
The Treasurer.--All the money of the United States is under
the care of the Treasurer. He receives and pays it out upon the
warrant of the Secretary of the Treasury or a designated assistant,
redeems the notes of the National banks, and manages the
Independent Treasury System.
