MESSAGE FROM STATE OFFICE
THE WASHINGTON STATE AUDITOR’S OFFICE
1000 Second Avenue, Suite 2700
Seattle, Washington 98104-1046
December, 2001
TO THE CITIZENS OF WASHINGTON
At the beginning of this year, the State Auditor’s Office was asked to make recommendations regarding a comprehensive statewide performance review. That proposal, delivered to key Democrat and Republican lawmakers in March, laid out a plan to measure state agencies’ compliance with laws pertaining to financial and performance accountability and with measures the agencies have developed to gauge their own operations.
Unfortunately the Legislature’s performance audit pilot project was not enacted. What I hope to present in this annual report are compelling reasons why such a review is needed and why our office is uniquely positioned to do it. State agencies are working hard to improve the quality, efficiency and effectiveness of the services they provide. Performance measures are now an inherent part of state agency strategic planning and budgeting.
So why the need for a performance review? Currently, there is no overall, comprehensive review of whether state government is meeting performance goals or measures designed to ensure programs are efficient and effective. And, although it’s been asked for decades, no one has stepped forward to answer the question: “What core services should government provide and how can it do so in the most effective and efficient way?” At this time in our state, we should come together and look for solutions.
Our office was created in the State Constitution as the “auditor of all public accounts.” Our auditors are out there, every day, looking at agency operations, recommending improvements and working with agencies to find efficient ways to ensure accountability. That puts us in a great position to take an independent, across-the-board look at how agencies are measuring up to expectations.
I encourage you to read this report, study our suggestions, and offer any constructive ideas that you may have for ensuring government accountability.
Sincerely,
BRIAN SONNTAG, CGFM
State Auditor
