Senatorial Accounting Office

The Senatorial Accounting Office has several functions. Mainly it acts as a collection point for the various economic and monetary information generated by the Kingdom. Just as the Senate doesn't make laws, it also doesn't set fiscal or economic policy. Senators still advise the King on the economy though, and so a special office was created to handle the complex and sometimes obtuse matters of the nation's finances. The specialization of the Senatorial Accounting Office means that it is quasi-independent from the rest of the Senate Information Bureau. It produces its own research and makes its own reports.

The secondary role of the Senatorial Accounting Office is to manage the budget of the Senate. Being a Senator is unpaid work. Instead, Senators and their personal staffs are compensated by means of the free use of Senatorial Province Services services and not being taxed for the duration of their careers. Thus, it is necessary for the budget to maintain a balance between a high standard of living, the increasing population of the Senate, and the economic policies set down by the Department of Economics. Unlike in other areas of the Senate General Staff, Senators work directly with the Senatorial Accounting Office on matter involving the budget.
