LB 692 was introduced by Senator Floyd Vrtiska in January. Of the nearly 900 bills that State Senators introduced in January, the office of the Auditor of Public Accounts is closely tracking approximately 100 that will have an impact on the function of the Auditor s office. The Auditor s office was pleased to participate in NACO s orientation day for new county clerks and county treasurers in January. Dennis Meyer spoke with the clerks regarding budgets and the county audits, and Deann Haeffner spoke to the treasurers regarding investments and the accounting code manual. Our staff also participated in regional NACO events in Lincoln, Norfolk and Grand Island in March, and we re looking forward to NACO s legislative day in Lincoln on April 15th as well as future NACO events.

In 1991, the State Auditor established a toll free hotline to allow taxpayers to anonymously report, directly to our office, possible waste, mismanagement, or abuse in government. All taxpayers understand the importance of identifying these problems and reporting them to the proper authority. You can help with that process by utilizing the 800 Hotline. Mary Avery is our Special Audits Manager and processes hotline calls. Deputy State Auditor, 471-3682 Julia Peralez, Asst.
