An Action Plan for Better Performance Audits in the Public Sector

Recent Governing Institute research found state and local government auditors can’t easily access the data they need and don’t have the necessary resources to conduct effective performance audits. Technology can help fill these gaps, but many aren’t using it to their benefit. On April 29 at 11am PST/2pm EST, Governing will bring together a panel of experts to discuss how governments can take advantage of the right tools, methods and partnerships to support continuous auditing that drives better performance and value for taxpayer dollars. This hour-long webcast will offer an action plan for expanding or establishing a performance auditing function. We’ll cover:

• In-depth findings from the Governing Institute research
• How performance auditing differs from other types of auditing in the public sector
• The role of technology and data analytics in effective performance auditing
