California State Auditor

We make a difference in programs and services that touch the lives of millions of Californians. Since the late 1950’s, the citizens and government of the State of California have relied on us to ensure the effective and efficient administration and management of public funds and programs. It is our job to help make sure that California government stays one step ahead. As the State’s independent external auditor, we provide nonpartisan, accurate, and timely assessments of California government’s financial and operational activities. Our audits result in accurate and dependable information that helps clarify issues, pose corrective action for problems, and bring more accountability to government programs. We recommend changes to make government programs and services more effective while keeping the costs in check. Be part of our team and make a difference!
