Chief Inspector

The State Auditor's Chief Inspector Division ensures that financial accountability is present at the local level of government by annually conducting and overseeing over 700 financial audits of counties, municipalities, boards of education and other miscellaneous local boards and authorities. Local governments which are under the auspices of the Chief Inspector Division are also eligible to participate in the Local Government Purchasing Card Program. The Chief Inspector Division may initiate appropriate investigative action when fraudulent or other illegal activity occurs at the local government level.
