Levin Center offers webinar on ‘Audit Recommendations for a Legislative Audience’ online

The Levin Center for Oversight and Democracy will offer a webinar on “Audit Recommendations for a Legislative Audience” Tuesday, November 15, from 3 to 4:30 p.m. via Zoom.

State audit recommendations can improve state government transparency, accountability, and effectiveness. Legislators often rely on audit recommendations to develop solutions for problems plaguing states. At the same time, poorly designed or unartfully worded audit recommendations can lead to missed opportunities to improve government performance. How can auditors better share their expertise through recommendations to help foster effective legislator responses to the concerns of the public? How can legislators work with auditors to develop and utilize audit recommendations to enhance their own legislative oversight? How should state legislators, state auditors, and their staffs interact to leverage their combined expertise to produce and implement useful audit recommendations? 

The Levin Center and the National Association of State Auditors, Comptrollers and Treasurers will present a panel discussion on audit recommendations for a legislative audience, and how to improve the state oversight ecosystem by helping lawmakers see state auditors as an essential resource for expertise and oversight capacity.
