Audits conducted by the State Auditor shall conform to auditing standards established by the Comptroller General of the United States Government Auditing Standards, which state that each audit organization performing audits in accordance with GAGAS must have an external peer review performed by reviewers independent of the audit organization being reviewed at least once every 3 years.
The State Auditor's office complies with this requirement by participating in the National State Auditor's Association External Peer Review Program which is administered by the National Association of State Auditors, Comptrollers and Treasurers.
The State Auditor's office's most recent peer review was conducted in November 2020. The review team gave a peer review rating of pass in its report, which is the highest level of assurance that an external peer review team can issue.
