Bill > SF1823

This bill requires the commissioner of Minnesota Management and Budget to provide a more comprehensive annual report on how state agencies respond to audit findings from the Office of the Legislative Auditor (OLA). Currently, the commissioner is required to review OLA audit reports and address internal control problems. The bill expands this requirement by mandating that the commissioner submit a detailed report by January 15 each year to the finance and ways and means committee chairs and ranking minority members in both the Senate and House of Representatives. The report must include a comprehensive breakdown of each OLA recommendation, specifically: a detailed description of actions taken, an assessment of the recommendation's completion status, an explanation for any incomplete actions, a description of remaining work needed, and a timeline for fully addressing the auditor's concerns. This enhanced reporting aims to increase transparency and accountability in how state agencies respond to and implement recommendations from legislative audits.
