Governor issues executive order creating Office of Internal Audit. Mike Huckabee issued an executive order Monday creating an office to monitor state agencies for waste, abuse and mismanagement. Huckabee's order authorizes Dick Barclay, director of the state Department of Finance and Administration, to form the state Office of Internal Audit. The governor said the new office will develop a strong internal audit program, provide the executive branch with a quick response capability when problems are discovered in state agencies and strengthen the ability of the executive branch to monitor state contracts and grants.
Many states have similar programs.
There is a national organization of interal state auditors.
