Auditor Merritt Takes Action, Utilizing Technology to
Reform State Government
In late 2005, just a few months after taking
office, Auditor Merritt launched a new “strategic auditing”
process to help identify unusual trends and potential
problems in state spending. The strategic auditing
process uses existing hardware, software and skills in the
Information System Auditing Division to analyze millions
of state transactions -- far more than normally are checked
during a regular agency audit. IS auditors perform security
audits of State computer systems, certify the accuracy of
computerized accounting systems for financial audit teams
and conduct other critical technology analysis for the
Office of the State Auditor
