Financial Auditing

Financial auditors perform audits of state agencies and universities in conformance with professional auditing standards adopted by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the standards issued by the United States Government Accountability Office. These audits are intended to assess the stewardship of public officials and to instill public confidence in government.  In addition, Information Technology auditors and professionals analyze computer systems at government agencies to ensure data integrity and security, as well as, provide necessary data analysis assistance and support.

Approximately 55% of the employees who perform financial audit services are certified public accountants. The auditors operate from the main office in Baton Rouge and the area office in Kenner, with staff also located in Alexandria, Lafayette, Monroe, and Shreveport.
