Four years ago, Tim promised the voters of this Commonwealth that he would do the job and utilize his over 30 years of auditing and fraud investigation experience to improve Pennsylvania. Tim promised not to weaponize audits but to follow the law. His office has worked diligently every day and delivered on those promises.
His office continues to focus on making the over 3,500 audits we produce each year more efficient and effective. Ensuring audits are based on risk and vulnerabilities has allowed for a more streamlined approach. Doing audits this way ensures taxpayers get the most out of the Department of the Auditor General. The residents of this Commonwealth work too hard to deserve any less; compliance work and simple checking of the box will not fly in my administration.
Tim DeFoor has transformed and improved the way we do school audits including public, charter and cyber schools. Working with the General Assembly, we have advocated for financial literacy to be taught in our schools from K-12 through our “Be Money Smart” financial literacy initiative. (click to learn more)
His first four years were about transformation and improvement; the next four years will be ensuring the job gets done. Pennsylvania taxpayers deserve more, and they can trust me to continue to deliver. Let’s get back to work.
