The Office of the State Comptroller (OSC) is an independent State agency that oversees the Executive Branch of state government. Our mission is to make government in New Jersey more efficient, transparent and accountable. Our office audits and investigates municipalities, school districts, and counties; state colleges and universities; independent state authorities; and state agencies. We also oversee government expenditures, review public contracts, evaluate local and state programs, and oversee the Medicaid program. We detect and uncover fraud, waste, and abuse and share our findings through public reports.
