HARRISBURG (April 13, 2017)– Auditor General Eugene DePasquale said today he is offering his department’s services to leaders of the Senate and House to help increase transparency and openness in light of the recent limited audit revealing a surplus of $118.4 million in legislative accounts.

“I am writing to offer the Department of the Auditor General’s assistance in conducting an in-depth review of the General Assembly’s fiscal operations to help you provide the maximum level of transparency and openness to taxpayers,” DePasquale wrote, noting the General Assembly could simply invite his department to review the appropriate accounts.
