State Auditor Selection Process TOPIC: State Auditor Selection Process OFFICE: Auditor STATE: CO DATE: 01/27/11 QUESTION / ISSUE: The Colorado Office of the State Auditor is beginning the search process for a new State Auditor. In Colorado, the State Auditor is an appointed position (not elected) and we would like to know how other offices with appointed State Auditors have conducted their selection process in the past. 1. Was your search limited to internal candidates; or was it extended externally at the local, state or national level? 2. What specific recruiting methods were used? Please include specific newspapers, recruiting or professional websites that resulted in the best response from candidates? Did you use a head hunter or search firm? 3. What other information can you share regarding the selection process that we should consider? State Comments Alabama In Alabama, the Chief Examiner (which is equivalent to other states’ State Auditor) is appointed to serve a 7-year term by a joint legislative committee. This 12- member committee is comprised of five members elected by the House of Representatives and five members elected by the Senate. The President of the Senate is the Chairman and the Speaker of the House of Representatives is the Vice-chairman. The Chief Examiner is selected with “special reference to his/her training, experience, capacity and fitness for the duties as executive and administrative head of the Department of Examiners of Public Accounts” and that he/she be a resident citizen of the state of Alabama, a qualified voter and at least 35 years of age. Florida The Auditor General selection process for Florida is conducted by the Joint Legislative Auditing Committee, to which the Auditor General reports. While our office is not involved in the search in any way, I will try to answer your questions to the best of my ability. 1. Extended externally – no specified limit as to where the candidates originated. 2. I believe that the news media was the primary outlet. I do not believe that head hunting agencies were used. 3. The candidates’ resumes were reviewed by the Joint Legislative Auditing Committee, which ultimately interviewed selected candidates for the position during a public committee meeting. Idaho Idaho has an appointed state auditor within the Legislative Services Office (previously the Legislative Auditor before a reorganization back in the mid 1980’s). The audit function is a division within the Office and the Manager (state auditor) is selected by the Director of the Office with no formal confirmation process required. The current Manager was appointed in January 2007 and the application process was open to all interested individuals, but it was very apparent that the best candidates were those with extensive experience in government auditing. Furthermore, the three finalists as selected by an independent panel organized by the Director were audit team managers within the audit division. A few applications were received from individuals from the private sector, but I’m not aware of anyone from another government audit shop that submitted an application. I believe that Robert Half Inc. was used to assist in the search as well as announcements placed in both the state government’s job opening website and the statewide newspaper (“The Statesman”). State Auditor Selection Process 1 State Comments Perhaps this effort should have included something in the NASACT/NSAA webpage or similar trade site (GASB?) and a direct announcement/mailing to government audit shops within the state and surrounding states. These are probably your best sources for finding the skill set to do the job. We are somewhat fortunate in having a “succession” plan that is built on the premise that any of the four audit team managers is qualified and capable of doing the Division Manager/State Auditor function, and that we embrace the team approach. Kansas When we last searched for a Post Auditor (in 1991), we put ads in the Wall Street Journal, AGA magazine, and maybe a couple of other national publications. As I recall (and I worked here but wasn’t involved in the search process then), we got hundreds of applications that had to be winnowed down by somebody. In the end, our Committee hired the second in command to be the new director. So this time, we advertised only on websites and by email, targeting our ad only to potentially interested and qualified people in the audit community. Maybe we went too far: this time we only got three responses. Once again, in the end, our Committee hired the second in command to be the new director. Please see the advertisements attached. We got one application from Florida, one from a local-government auditor in the Kansas City area, and one from the then- Deputy. Michigan In Michigan, the last Auditor General 'search' was conducted in 1989, resulting in the selection of the current Auditor General. The AG serves an 8 year term and has been reappointed twice, so the next search could be much different than it was 21 years ago. However... The Office of the Auditor General in Michigan is part of the legislative branch of state government, and for the search in 1989 the Legislature established a search procedure. For the search in 1989, the Legislature created a search Committee comprised of Legislators from the Senate and House of Representatives. This Committee then created a "subcommittee", comprised of private sector financial experts (members of CPA firms, financial managers from local governments, etc.), and select members of the Legislature. The subcommittee placed ads in major media outlets, including the Wall Street Journal, to solicit candidates, and then subsequently conducted initial interviews of the applicants. Based on their initial interviews, the subcommittee made recommendations to the Legislative search committee. The Legislative search committee then interviewed the recommended candidates, and through several interviews narrowed their preference to one candidate. Final appointment of the Auditor General in Michigan is through a concurrent resolution by the Legislature. Therefore, the Legislative search committee introduced a concurrent resolution for appointment in the House, and subsequently in the Senate, resulting in the appointment of the Auditor General. Montana The MT Legislative Auditor (me) is Statutorily a two-year appointment, subject to re- appointment each even numbered year. State Auditor Selection Process 2 State Comments 1. Because we had a number of qualified candidates in-house, the process stayed internal. Historically we have always had a ‘hire at entry, promote from within’ philosophy. The average years of service for our retirees exceeds 27 years with the office. I had over 21 years with the office when I interviewed for the position three years ago. 2. The Legislative Audit Committee formed a bi-partisan appointment sub- committee. The sub-committee requested resumes and letters of reference, prior to selection for interviews with the sub-committee. Sub-committee made a recommendation to the full Audit Committee for official appointment. New Jersey New Jersey's State Auditor is a Constitutional Position appointed by and confirmed by a joint session of the Legislature. 1. The search was a national search conducted by a committee established by the Legislative Services Commission. The Commission is a bi-partisan group of 16 members equally representing both political parties and both houses of the Legislature. The search committee included several legislative directors and the former State Auditor. 2. Recruiting methods included national newspapers, industry publications and a job search website. A head hunter firm was not used. 3. The search committee reviewed possible candidates’ resumes and cover letters for their qualifications and requirements and narrowed the field down to several selections for interview. They conducted the interviews of these candidates and made recommendations to a group of Legislators representing the Legislative Services Commission, who in turn interviewed the search committee’s selection. Upon their recommendation to the Legislative Services Commission, the Commission made the recommendation to the full Legislature. The candidate is then voted upon and appointed by a joint session of the Legislature. Ohio The State Auditor is an elected position. Oklahoma The State Auditor and Inspector is an elected position. Oregon The elected Secretary of State appoints the Director of the Oregon Audits Division. That person decides on how to conduct the selection process. A previous Secretary of State conducted a national recruitment and other appointments have been promotions from within the office, or within state government. I received a phone call from the Secretary of State to recruit me after I announced I was leaving my position with the City of Portland. South Carolina The South Carolina State Auditor’s Office asked me to respond to your inquiry about the State Auditor Selection Process. My Office, the South Carolina State Office of Human Resources, has conducted an executive search for the state auditor position. The search was conducted on a national basis. Specific advertising was placed with: 1. SC Association of CPAs 2. www.cpa2biz.com 3. Jobs in the Money 4. State Government Jobs 5. website 6. National Assoc of State Auditors, Comptrollers and Treasurers – NASACT 7. National Association of Local Government Auditors 8. Association of Government Accountants 9. Government Finance Officers Association 10. National Conference of State Legislatures NCSL Virginia The Auditor of Public Accounts is an elected by the General Assembly to serve a 4 year term and can only be removed from office for committing a felon, mental incapacity or malfeasance. The term of office starts February 1 and if the General State Auditor Selection Process 3 State Comments Assembly does not elect an auditor the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission can appoint an interim appointee until the next General Assembly term begins. 1. The General Assembly’s Joint Rules committee appointed a sub-committee, which conducted a search the last search limited the search to state and local candidates.

  • Legislative Oversight in Delaware
    Legislative Oversight in Delaware Capacity and Usage Assessment Oversight through Analytic Bureaucracies: Minimal Oversight through the Appropriations Process: Moderate Oversight through Committees: Limited Oversight through Administrative Rule Review: Minimal Oversight through Advice and Consent: Minimal Oversight through Monitoring Contracts: Limited Judgment of Overall Institutional Capacity for Oversight: Moderate Judgment of Overall Use of Institutional Capacity for Oversight: Moderate Summary Assessment Delaware appears to emphasize resolving agency performance problems rather than punishing or eliminating poorly performing programs. One element that may explain this solution-driven approach is the nature of Delaware’s general assembly itself--a small legislature with no term limits. This allows legislators to serve for long periods of time and to become better acquainted with their counterparts across the aisle, producing a more collegial environment where partisan confrontation on every issue is not always desirable. We were told that there are “a lot of relationships in a small legislature, so it is better to pick your battles than to oppose every measure.” (interview notes, 7/25/18). Major Strengths Delaware’s legislature possesses several tools to conduct oversight, foremost among them the Joint Legislative Oversight and Sunset Committee (JLOSC). This committee works with staff to conduct a very thorough review of a small number of government entities. The committee rarely eliminates these entities, although it has the power to do so. Rather it tries to determine how to improve the entities’ performance. Based on its recommendations for improvement, the committee staff and the entity help draft legislation to resolve performance problems. The emphasis the committee places on enacting legislation to resolve performance problems that it identifies ensures that oversight hearings are more than merely public scolding.

    Legislative Oversight in Hawaii Capacity and Usage Assessment Oversight through Analytic Bureaucracies: Moderate Oversight through the Appropriations Process: Moderate Oversight through Committees: High Oversight through Administrative Rule Review: Minimal Oversight through Advice and Consent: Limited Oversight through Monitoring Contracts: Moderate Judgment of Overall Institutional Capacity for Oversight: High Judgment of Overall Use of Institutional Capacity for Oversight: High Summary Assessment Hawaii has multiple analytic support agencies that aid the legislature with its oversight responsibilities. The system stresses transparency and public accessibility of audit reports. Audit reports are used regularly in committee hearings. Sunrise and sunset reviews provide a mechanism for legislators to influence state agencies. Analytic bureaucracies aid in these reviews. Audits also provide a mechanism to oversee contracts despite the fact that the executive branch is primarily empowered1 to review and monitor contracts. Major Strengths Audit reports are well publicized and summaries are prepared with the intent to promote public understanding and accessibility to Hawaii’s citizens. The auditor’s office provides one- page follow-up reports that describe actions taken in response to its reports. Moreover, the audit reports themselves address whether the legislature and agencies acted on audit recommendations. Audits provide a mechanism that the legislature uses to oversee contracts even though the executive branch is solely empowered to monitor contracts. Audits are used in making budget decisions and standing committees attempt to pass legislation based on audit findings. Challenges 1 http://spo.hawaii.gov/procurement-wizard/manual/contract-management/, accessed 9/5/18. The governor has strong appointment powers and can thus exert a lot of control over state government.
