The Audible Audit
The Office of the Auditor provides reports to the Legislature and the public about state agency performance. Our audits help to provide transparency about government programs and hold government accountable by assessing how effectively state agencies are delivering services and using public money.
The Audible Audit is an AI-generated summary of the office’s reports intended for public informational and educational purposes only. While the podcast content may be computer generated, the discussions are solely based on the office’s reports, which are produced without the aid of AI. In addition, the podcast is carefully reviewed by staff to ensure that the information is consistent with what is presented in the reports.
