About Us
Mission Statement To provide independent, objective and meaningful information about county programs and performance, as well as, assurance that county services are provided in the most cost effective and efficient way thus enabling the County Legislature to make informed decisions. By assuring that government is accountable, responsible and transparent, we improve the quality of life for citizens of Jackson County. |
What We Do We lay out strategies to ensure that our work remains independent, objective, and useful. Our goal is to conduct audits that enable the county to reduce, avoid, or recover costs and to alert county officials to potential problems that could undermine the public’s trust in county government.
Types of Work Performed
Performance Audits —assess program effectiveness and results, operational efficiency, compliance with legal and policy requirements, and evaluation of management and internal controls. Financial Audits — assess the integrity and reliability of financial data, internal controls, accounting practices, and compliance with applicable statutes. Follow-Up Reports — The Legislative Auditor’s Office conducts follow-up audits to determine the progress made in addressing findings identified in previous audits. Memoranda — To be more informed about pending legislation and other issues coming before them, individual Legislators occasionally request audit research of a limited scope. In addition, department directors occasionally request assistance from the County Auditor’s Office.
