When essential procedures are ignored—such as missing documentation or sharing login information—the risk of fraud, waste, and abuse increases.

No, public employees cannot use government vehicles for personal errands.

OSC works to strengthen integrity, efficiency, and transparency across New Jersey government.

Our past audits have found issues such as:

❌Unclear vehicle‑use policies
📋 Limited monitoring of government resources
🚨 Weak internal controls that increase the risk of waste
