Legislative Audit Bureau
January 15, 2009
The Honorable, The Legislature:
This biennial report, which is required under s.
13.94(1)(j), Wis. Stats., summarizes the Legislative Audit Bureau's statutory responsibilities and highlights significant accomplishments from January 1, 2007, through December 31, 2008.
During that biennium, we produced more than 50 independent audits, evaluations, reviews, opinions, and certifications. Our work helps to assure the Legislature and the public that financial transactions and management decisions are made effectively, efficiently, and in compliance with the law and that the policies and practices of state agencies are consistent with legislative intent. Our reports frequently include recommendations that improve government programs and services, maximize federal reimbursements, and ensure public funds are wisely spent and appropriately accounted for.
We are proud to deliver accurate and useful information that enhances accountability and assists the Legislature in its oversight of executive branch agencies. We look forward to serving the Legislature, the Governor, and the people of Wisconsin in the coming years.
Respectfully Submitted,
janice mueller
State Auditor
