Mississippi auditor’s office posts on Facebook; details pending

The Mississippi Office of the State Auditor posted a message on its official Facebook page, the agency said in a social media post. The content of the post was not provided to this report.

The Office of the State Auditor is responsible for auditing state agencies, public funds and local governments to ensure accountability and to detect waste, fraud and abuse. The office issues audit reports, conducts investigations and oversees financial transparency for Mississippi government entities.

State agencies increasingly use social media to communicate with the public about audits, reports, public notices and enforcement actions. A post from the auditor’s office could signal a new audit release, a policy update or information relevant to taxpayers and local officials, though the office did not specify the subject in the material provided.

We will provide more information as it becomes available.
