Massachusetts State Auditor
Auditing the Commonwealth’s subcontractors
-State House, May 3, 2011 - State Auditor Suzanne M. Bump testified today before the Joint Committee on State Administration and Regulatory Oversight in support of House Bill 5, An Act Relative to Vendor Contracts. The Auditor’s Office wrote and filed the bill.
Vendors and grantees who do business with the state do not always provide all services themselves and frequently enter into subcontracts with third-party entities. The law however does not specifically provide for review of these subcontracts. House Bill No.5 would clarify that these subcontracts are subject to review by the State Auditor, when a contract is funded by the taxpayers.
“As the new State Auditor I am intent upon raising the professional parameters under which we work to protect the taxpayers of the Commonwealth,” said Auditor Bump. “House Bill 5 would enhance our ability to perform our job as the state’s fiscal watchdog.”
