State auditor

State auditors (also state comptrollers or state controllers) are executive officers of U.S. states who serve as auditors and comptrollers for state funds.

The office of state auditor is often a constitutional office (that is, it is created by the state constitution). The state auditor often heads a state agency. In some states auditor is an elected office, while in others auditors are appointed by the state governor and are confirmed by the state senate.
