Aloha, and welcome to the State of Hawai‘i Office of the Auditor’s podcast.

This podcast is a companion to our performance audit reports ... distilling meaningful information we believe Hawai‘i residents should know ... about how efficiently state agencies operate and manage state resources ... and how effectively they deliver services to the public.

Not to be confused with financial audits, our performance audits provide objective assessments of what agencies are required to do and what they are actually doing. And, when agencies aren’t operating as intended, our analysts determine why that’s the case, and why it matters.

Our office was created to improve government and hold it accountable. We created this podcast to further that mission.
