About
JLARC reports give accurate, unbiased, and credible answers to the Legislature’s questions.
The Legislature assigns audits and other studies in budget and policy bills. We do the work according to government auditing standards.
There are 3 types of studies:
- Performance audits: We evaluate if a program works as intended, meets goals, and operates efficiently.
- Tax preference reviews: We assess tax exemptions, credits, deductions, preferential rates, deferrals, and exclusions based on specific criteria in law.
- Sunset reviews: We evaluate a program or agency based on specific criteria in law and recommend continuation, change, or termination.
