North Carolina Office of the State Auditor

North Carolina Office of the State Auditor Holding state government & entities that receive public money accountable, working on behalf of North Carolinians to eliminate waste, fraud, & abuse.

OSA protects the interests of taxpayers and others who provide financial resources to the State of North Carolina. One way OSA protects the interest of taxpayers is through the operation of a Tipline for the submission of allegations of fraud, waste, and abuse. Allegations of fraud, waste and abuse should be sent to OSA by calling 1-800-730-TIPS (8477) or clicking https://www.auditor.nc.gov/about-

us/state-auditors-tipline. Because this is a public forum, if you choose to post an allegation on these pages, OSA cannot protect your anonymity. Posts to this site, in connection with the transaction of public business, are subject to the N.C. Public Records Law and may be disclosed to third parties. Our Work
The Office of the State Auditor (OSA) performs an array of work, including financial statement audits, financial related audits, performance audits, information technology audits, and investigative reports. 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.

Financial issues were discovered in the Town of Newland, NC by the Office of the State Auditor.

The town is delinquent on its required annual financial statement audits for fiscal years 2024 and 2025. Poor internal controls allowed potential fraud to occur as the Town Finance Officer initiated a wire transfer of over $82,000 to an unknown individual masquerading as a Town vendor. OSA also determined that the former Town Administrator bypassed bidding and board approval in connection with $418,658 in general fund expenditures.
