Summary
Existing statutory law, commencing January 1, 2013, establishes the California State Auditor's Office, which is headed by the California State Auditor and has specified statutory duties, including the performance of statutorily mandated audits. Existing statutory law, commencing January 1, 2013, states that the California State Auditor's Office, in order to be free of organizational impairments to independence, shall be independent of the executive branch and legislative control. This measure would require the California State Auditor to biennially conduct a specified financial audit and performance evaluation of each state program, including the administration or oversight of that program by the department or agency that is responsible for the program, and submit a report of the results of that financial audit and performance evaluation to the Legislature, as prescribed. This measure would require the committee that considers the budget in each house of the Legislature to meet and consider recommendations made in each performance evaluation within 90 days of submission by the California State Auditor. This measure would require the California State Auditor to make each financial audit and performance evaluation available to the public on an Internet Web site and in hardcopy format and require the Legislature to appropriate to the California State Auditor's Office funds as necessary to implement these provisions.
