Auditor Yost to have auditor’s office audited
New state Auditor Dave Yost campaigned on a pledge to be an “independent guardian of the public interest” and Yost said Monday that he’s trying to follow through on that pledge.
In a press release, Republican Yost announced that he’s requesting proposals for a performance audit of the auditor’s office, to focus on business operations and finances to make sure the office makes the best use of resources and the best practices.
Yost has announced his support for two proposals, House Bill 2 and Senate Bill 4, that would require performance audits of certain state agencies every two years. He has said they will “skinny down” government and the audit of his own office is seen as an example.
“People are tired of government telling them to do what it’s not willing to do itself,” Yost said in the press release.
“It’s time to turn the table and lead by example.”
Proposals are due in Yost’s office by March 7 and the results are due 120 calendar days from the date of the contract award, the release said.

I like the cut of this guy’s jib! Can’t wait to see if it results in actual cuts and real $$$ saved. I hope he trims down his dept and then cuts the fat and waste out everywhere else! Extra points if he makes it happen FAST.
