Office of the Auditor

The Office of the Auditor is an independent agency of the Hawaii Legislature that conducts performance and financial audits of state agencies, programs, and contracts to assess efficiency, effectiveness, and compliance with law. It reports findings and recommendations to 州议会 and the public, providing independent accountability for the executive branch. Audit reports have triggered significant legislative and administrative reforms across multiple agencies.

The Auditor's reports expose waste, fraud, and mismanagement in state government and are freely available to the public; reading audit findings is one of the most direct ways to understand how well state agencies are performing.
