It is important for constituents to understand the significance of this position which impacts all Pennsylvanians. The position of Auditor General is described as the “chief fiscal watchdog of the Commonwealth which is responsible for using audits to ensure that all state money is spent legally and properly.” With the potential of serving a maximum of two four-year terms, the “mission of the Department of the Auditor General is to serve the people of Pennsylvania by improving government accountability, transparency, and the effective use of taxpayer dollars.”
During this unprecedented time of experiencing the devastating influence of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the uncertainty of any future outbreaks, it is critical to understand how candidates propose to effectively fulfill the responsibility of Auditor General.
