Legislative auditor recommendations
An audit by the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Committee (JLARC) can include a recommendation from the legislative auditor. Recommendations aim to:
- Help an agency improve its operations or services.
- Suggest ways the Legislature could change laws to better meet its policy goals.
