Minnesota State Auditor Rebecca Otto accepted a 2009 Excellence in Accountability Award from the National State Auditors Association at the group’s recent annual conference in Savannah, Ga.
The awards are given annually to recognize government auditing excellence in three categories: large performance audit, small performance audit and special project.
Otto’s office won the award for special project for its “Best Practices Review: Reducing Energy Costs in Local Government” audit.
The review began with a step-by-step best practices process for reducing energy costs, presenting nine case studies that highlighted best practices in reducing energy costs by local governments throughout Minnesota.
In January, the review was used as a template for a statewide conference attended by more than 300 local government officials on reducing energy costs in local government.
