         (e)  A commission shall send to the governor, the state
  auditor, [the comptroller,] and the Legislative Budget Board a copy
  of each report and audit required under this section or under
  Section 391.009. The state auditor may review each audit and
  report, subject to a risk assessment performed by the state auditor

  and the commission. The governor and the legislative audit
  committee may direct the commission to prepare a corrective action
  plan or other response to the state auditor's findings or
  recommendations. The legislative audit committee may direct the
  state auditor to perform any additional audit or investigative work
  that the committee determines is necessary.
