Legislative Audit Bureau
January 15, 2003
The Honorable, The Legislature:
This biennial report on the operations and performance of the Legislative Audit Bureau covers the period January 1, 2001 through December 31, 2002. It summarizes the Bureau's statutory responsibilities and reports and is required under s.
13.94(1)(j), Wis. Stats.
The Bureau conducts financial and program evaluation audits to assist the Legislature in its oversight of executive branch agencies. The Bureau's reports are received and reviewed by the Joint Legislative Audit Committee. On December 31, 2002, Audit Committee members were:
Senator Gary R. George, Co-Chairperson
Senator Judith Robson
Senator Brian Burke
Senator Joanne Huelsman
Senator Mary Lazich
Representative Joseph K. Leibham, Co-Chairperson
Representative Samantha Kerkman
Representative John Gard
Representative David Cullen
Representative Barbara Gronemus
Senator Huelsman was appointed to the committee effective August 10, 2001, replacing Senator Peggy Rosenzweig. Representative Gronemus was appointed to the committee effective May 16, 2001, replacing Representative James Kreuser.
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.
Sincerely,
Janice Mueller
State Auditor
