Iowa House subcommittee advances Senate File 2311, allowing state agencies to hire private CPAs for annual audits.
Iowa House subcommittee advances Senate File 2311 without recommendation, leaving it to the House State Government Committee chair to determine the bill's fate. The bill, which passed the Senate 31-16, would allow state agencies to hire private CPAs for their annual audits instead of the state auditor's office. Critics argue that the bill could cost up to three times more than using state auditor staff and may limit the auditor's ability to ensure government funds are not misused.
