(a) The authority may invest funds in securities in which state funds may be invested as provided by law or in savings certificates of savings and loan associations and certificates of deposit of banks to the extent they are fully insured by a federal agency or are fully secured by a pledge of assets as provided by law, sell securities it has purchased and deposit securities in any financial institution. Funds deposited in financial institutions shall be secured by obligations authorized as permissible security for state investments. In investing and managing its funds, the authority shall exercise the judgment and care which persons of prudence, discretion and intelligence would exercise under similar circumstances in managing the permanent disposition of their funds, considering the probable income and the probable safety of their capital.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, the authority may contract with the holders of any of its bonds, as to the custody, collection, securing, investment and payment of any monies of the authority, of any monies held in trust or otherwise for the payment of bonds, and may carry out the contract. Monies held in trust or otherwise for the payment of bonds or in any way to secure bonds and deposits of monies may be secured in the same manner as monies of the authority and all banks and trust companies are authorized to give security for these deposits.
(c) Subject to agreements with bondholders, the authority shall prescribe a system of accounts in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
(d) The authority shall employ a certified public accountant to examine the books and accounts of the authority including its receipts, disbursements, contracts, reserve funds, sinking funds, investments and any other matters relating to its financial standing. The examination shall be conducted at least once in each year and copies of the examination report shall be filed with the secretary of state, the director of the state department of audit and the legislative service office.
