(a) There is established a financial advisory council consisting of the state auditor, the state treasurer, the director of the state department of audit, the director of the department of administration and information, the director of the department of revenue, a member or designee of the joint appropriation interim committee, and other persons the governor appoints as ex officio members without voting privileges. The state auditor is chairman of the financial advisory council.
(b) The financial advisory council shall oversee the design and implementation of a uniform state accounting system applicable to all state agencies, departments, boards, commissions and institutions which will insure that all fiscal data is accumulated, processed and reported to provide compatible fiscal management information and to make possible full disclosure and fair presentation of financial position and operating results in accordance with generally accepted governmental accounting principles. Generally accepted governmental accounting principles, definitions and procedures as outlined by the national committee on government accounting in the publication "Governmental Accounting, Auditing, and Financial Reporting" shall be used as a guide by the financial advisory council in the accounting methodology. If there is a conflict between legal provisions and generally accepted governmental accounting principles, the legal provisions will take precedence.
(c) Under the guidance and with consent of the financial advisory council the department of administration and information shall hire specialized state personnel to develop the capability, and may secure the services of professional consultants, to implement this act and related fiscal procedures.
