JLARC releases annual report

The Joint Legislative Audit and Review Committee (JLARC) issued its annual report today. According to JLARC: "Between 2001 and 2008, JLARC issued over 200 recommendations directly to state agencies. Some 83% of these recommendations have been implemented to date and another 11% are in progress . . . The amount of benefits JLARC produces each year that are either financial or non-financial depends on the assignments it receives from the Legislature. JLARC has historically achieved significant financial savings from its recommendations. The savings impact from 1990 to 2008 is $494 million in one-time savings and $91 million in annual ongoing savings. In recent years, assignments from the Legislature have focused more on non-financial objectives." Additional details here: Legislative Auditor’s Annual Report
