Administrative Division Overview

The Administrative Division of the Administrative Office of the Courts is charged with three distinct areas of responsibility in support of the work of the Supreme Court and the AOC:

Budgets/Accounting:  

The primary responsibility of the Budgets and Finance Unit is to assist the Nevada Supreme Court and its subsidiary divisions in planning, preparing and implementing a budget that is consistent with the goals of the Nevada Supreme Court and to provide for a complete accounting of its resources and expenditures. The unit is also responsible for providing guidance to Nevada's courts in implementing and complying with generally accepted financial principles and minimum financial and administrative/accounting control standards established by the court, and their methods used in the processing, collecting, recording and remittance of state fines and administrative assessments.

Audit:  

The primary responsibility of the Audit Unit is to perform audits of the judiciary and its programs. The judicial branch auditors are responsible for monitoring the Nevada courts' procedural implementation and compliance with the Minimum Accounting Standards.

The judicial branch auditors function as independent appraisers who examine and evaluate activities of the judiciary as a service to management. The role of the judicial branch auditors is to promote a high level of public trust in the judiciary by providing a professional, independent, and objective review of judicial business functions.

People Operations Unit:  

The People Operations Team includes Human Resources, Payroll, Web Content, and Online Education. This Unit assists the Court with all personnel issues, including employee relations, recruitment and selection, classification, position control, evaluations, training and development, payroll, benefits administration, personnel policies and procedures, and Financial Disclosure Statements for the Court. Additionally, the Web Content team manages the Court’s online presence and digital communications, while the Online Education team develops and delivers virtual training and educational programs for the Nevada Judiciary.
