With billions of dollars in federal funding on the line, determining if California's financial statements are presented fairly is critical work. Each year our staff ensures California can receive funding that supports infrastructure, schools, and other public services.
Join our team and help ensure California programs continue to receive essential funding.
California has one of the LARGEST ECONOMIES IN THE WORLD, bigger than the United Kingdom, India, France, and Brazil.
California is LARGER than Apple, Amazon, and AT&T.
Because it includes so many agencies and services, California's financial statements are HIGHLY COMPLEX.
In addition to the large annual financial audit, our team evaluates city government finances to assess the ongoing fiscal health of California's 470 plus cities. We analyze and rank cities using financial indicators to inform the public about whether their city is facing fiscal challenges. We summarize our analysis on an easily accessible dashboard. If approved by the Legislature, our team then audits the highest risk cities to provide recommendations that will help them get their financial houses back on track.
