Government Administration - Denver, Colorado, United States

We promote accountability in government by providing the General Assembly, agencies, and the public with thorough and credible information, analysis, and assessments about the operation of state programs and the use of taxpayer resources.The OSA has broad authority to conduct performance, financial, and IT audits of all state departments and agencies, public colleges and universities, most special purpose authorities, any state entity designated as an enterprise under the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights (TABOR), and political subdivisions and other entities when required by law. The OSA also conducts evaluations of all state tax expenditures (i.e., credits, deductions, exemptions) on a 5-year cycle, monitors all local governments for compliance with the Local Government Audit Law, and administers a statewide fraud reporting hotline.The OSA employs approximately 80 professional staff and has an annual budget of about $11 million.
