SAAC Activities
In the spring of 2007, SAAC took a survey of state government audit personnel to help identify important issues effecting internal auditing. An action plan was created utilizing results of the initial survey which created areas of emphasis as: outreach, SAAC-CAE correction, training, coverage and reporting.

In 2008, SAAC directed the state's internal audit community to partner with the Legislative Fiscal Office to review the data integrity of selected agency key performance measures. Fourteen agencies completed the review and the report on the compiled results can be accessed at the link below.
