NC Office of the State Auditor (press release)

The NC Office of the State Auditor is a North Carolina constitutional office whose press releases announce audit findings, investigations, and agency actions; it is a government body, not an independent news outlet. Since January 2025, the office has been led by Republican Dave Boliek, who has publicly aligned state audit priorities with federal government-efficiency themes similar to the Trump administration's DOGE initiative. Its press releases carry no editorial independence from the current officeholder and reflect the priorities of that elected official.
