Here is a little auditing 101 concept discussion on the subject of independence from the Salt Lake County Auditor:
Independence is a two-way street for auditors.
Yes…fist and foremost, auditors must be free from interference, pressure, and political influence. That protection is essential to public trust.
But independence does NOT mean operating without constraints, budgets, accountability, or professional standards.
In fact, auditors can lose their independence just as easily because of their own actions as from outside threats:
• Ignoring scope and budget limits
• Drifting into management roles
• Advocating instead of objectively assessing
• Failing to follow professional standards
True independence isn’t about doing whatever we want…it’s about disciplined objectivity.
It requires guardrails on BOTH sides:
Protection from undue influence, and a commitment to professional restraint.
That balance is what makes auditing and auditors credible.

Just released: a performance audit of the Office of Regional Development 🧾 We identified significant opportunities to strengthen oversight of rental assistance funds 💵 and County assets 🛠️. Management agreed to all 32 recommendations ✅ and is addressing them. This is exactly why auditing matters: identify risk ⚠️, improve systems 🔧, and protect the public 🛡️. saltlakecounty.gov/globalassets/1…

Today I was reviewing our updated internal audit manual at the Salt Lake County Auditor’s Office to make sure it follows the latest Yellow Book (government auditing) standards…the revamped Chapter 5.
That may sound technical, but it comes down to this: we choose to follow strong, national rules about how audits must be planned, performed, reviewed, and reported.
Why this matters to Salt Lake County residents:
• Your tax dollars are more likely to be used as intended
• Waste and fraud are more likely to be detected
• County programs are checked to see if they actually work
• Elected and appointed officials are held accountable
Good standards don’t magically fix everything.
But weak standards almost guarantee problems go unnoticed.
I believe Salt Lake County deserves strong, independent, and professional oversight.
Strong standards → strong oversight → real taxpayer protection.

The Salt Lake County Auditors Office just submitted our Jail Facilities Audit for the Knighton Award with the Association of Local Government Auditors. Named after Dr. Lennis Knighton—Utah’s first Legislative Auditor General and the father of performance auditing.

🚨 Property taxes are widely misunderstood. 🚨
At Salt Lake County’s Truth in Taxation meeting, I heard many comments about how property taxes are raised and calculated that were simply incorrect.
This isn’t about supporting higher taxes or opposing them — it’s about understanding the system.
A few key facts 👇
🏠 Rising property values ≠ a tax increase
📊 Truth in Taxation = revenue decisions, not assessments
🏛️ Multiple taxing entities make up your bill
📉 Your bill can rise even if rates go down
💡 Understanding matters. Informed debate starts with facts.
📣 We’ll be launching an education effort to help residents better understand how property taxes work and how their bill is calculated...so discussions are based on knowledge, not confusion.
Facts first. Debate second.

Big congratulations to our auditors on issuing the final payroll audit—the capstone of this important series. We presented it to Council this afternoon, with 22 recommendations to strengthen systems and accountability. Mayor’s Finance has accepted all 22 and is already working on implementation. Great work by all involved!

Utah state leaders were trying not to panic about which federal funding could be shut off with this freeze. In Utah, $7.7 billion of the state's nearly $29 billion budget comes from the feds. @abc4utah #utpol
