This division conducts audits to protect the public interest while helping improve Oregon government.
Auditors ensure public funds are spent in compliance with state and federal requirements and properly accounted for. Performance audits provide transparency and accountability into state government operations by assessing whether agencies and programs are operating effectively, efficiently, and equitably, and information is appropriately secure. All reports are publicly available.
Financial audits are a core focus. The division, meanwhile, has pushed performance audits to new levels. The aim is to increase the efficiency of state and local government while generating savings.
