A Government Playbook for More Effective, Data-Driven Performance Audits

Effective performance auditing can help governments discover inefficiencies as well as opportunities for improvement. But new research from the Governing Institute indicates that auditors aren’t using technologies and techniques that could help them conduct better and more frequent performance audits. This paper takes a deep dive into these research findings and discusses how technology — and a smart partner — can help state and local governments speed up audits, move toward continuous or ongoing audit processes, and drive more value and better use of public dollars.
