Comptroller
Government accounts chief
A comptroller is a financial officer who oversees accounting and auditing, particularly in government or large institutions.
The word is a variant spelling of controller, with the same meaning and pronunciation.
The spelling arose from a false association with the French word *compte* (account), though the actual origin is simply control.
The state comptroller audited the agency's expenditures.
