During the biennium we published 45 numbered reports that include independent financial and compliance audits, management reviews, and program evaluations. We also released shorter, unnumbered reports or letters to address individual legislators' or the Audit Committee's requests for information on narrowly defined issues, and in response to state or federal funding requirements. We are proud to deliver accurate, timely, and useful analyses that enhance the accountability of state government, and we look forward to serving the Legislature, the Governor, and the people of Wisconsin in the coming years.
