Work with us and make a difference in North Carolina government. The Office of the State Auditor (OSA) is the Taxpayers' Watchdog. We audit government spending to make sure state agencies manage citizen's tax dollars wisely, deliver services effectively, and report results accurately. OSA audits have identified hundreds of millions of dollars in wasteful spending, led to new legislation, and improved oversight of how tax dollars are spent.


The Office of the State Auditor performs an array of work, including financial statement audits, financial-related audits, performance audits, information technology audits, and special investigations. We examine all facets of state government, including education, health, transportation, computer systems, regulatory processes, and public safety. We conduct special studies as requested by the Legislature and audit federal grant programs to ensure North Carolina can continue to receive federal money. Our work helps improve the efficiency of state government and helps the state retain its coveted AAA bond rating.

We do not audit individuals for tax compliance or examine individual tax returns. Our work is focused on improving state government and uncovering waste and abuse of state tax dollars by state agencies or private entities that receive state funds.

Vacancies in the NC Office of the State Auditor are advertised through the NC Office of State Human Resources Work for NC webpage (workfornc.gov) and can easily be located by using the Department Filter and checking 'Office of the State Auditor'.
