Best Business and Financial Practices
State of California executives are in the business of managing government programs. The Governor, the Legislature, and the taxpayers expect accountability for program resources through economical, efficient, and effective operation of these programs. Not all state entities have the necessary time, resources, or in-house experience to ensure accountability and that programs operate as intended. The Office of State Audits and Evaluations can provide both audit and consultation services to assist management in meeting their objectives.
