    OKLAHOMA STATE AUDITOR AND INSPECTOR JEFF A. MCMAHAN ANNUAL 2007 REPORT MISSION STATEMENT Our MISSION is to PROTECT YOUR TAX DOLLARS by reducing waste, fraud and creating change that IMPROVES your government. The Honorable Brad Henry Governor of the State of Oklahoma Room 212, State Capitol Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73105 Dear Governor Henry, A hundred years ago your predecessor stood on the steps of the capitol in Guthrie and laid out a plan for the creation of a new state. In his first inaugural address to the people of Oklahoma he also called for the creation of the Office of the State Auditor and Inspector. Today, the dedicated employees of this agency and I, present to you the work this office has done during our centennial year. I would like to take this opportunity to commend the officials and the employees of the state, county and municipal govern- ments for the work they do for the people of Oklahoma. Auditing is critical by nature. I do not want the work represented in these pages to take away from the many positive things that our government and its employees do on a daily basis. It is designed to help guide them to strive for excellence and accountability. There are many changes taking place in the auditing world, new standards and requirements that the auditors, agencies and the counties they audit will be dealing with in the coming year. We are striving with these changes to insure the taxpayer’s dollars are both protected and used in the best way possible. The State Auditor and Inspector’s Office has several divisions: County, State Agencies, Investigative, Mineral Management, Performance, Management Services and Quality Assurance.
