The Alaska Division of Legislative Audit serves as one of the Legislature’s most significant “checks” in the balance of powers with the executive and judicial branches of government. The Division’s primary responsibility is to hold government agencies accountable to the laws enacted by the legislature. All audits conducted by the Division are done in accordance with government auditing standards. As required by those standards, the Division also participates in a peer review process to assure compliance with those standards. More about the Division »

Special Audits

Any member of the Legislature may request a special audit through the Legislative Budget and Audit Committee. A special audit can cover many things. It can be an audit that is restricted to one part of an agency’s operations or it can be an audit reviewing financial transactions for a period of time shorter or longer than a fiscal year.
