JACKSON, Miss. – Today State Auditor Shad White announced that the Mississippi Office of the State Auditor passed an audit conducted by an out-of-state private CPA firm hired by the Mississippi Legislature’s PEER Committee.
“Last year the legislature chose to appropriate money to hire an auditor to audit our office,” said State Auditor Shad White. “While we did not ask for the audit, I welcomed it, and I’m pleased to report the audit came back so clean you could eat your supper off of it.”
The firm EisenRamper LLP from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, conducted the audit.
“I really haven’t seen many audits this clean in my time on the job, so the credit goes to the men and women who work at the Auditor’s Office,” said Auditor White. “Last year we asked for and received one million dollars less from the general fund, and our office continues to operate effectively and efficiently.”
