The Office of Legislative Audits releases several reports, including a Review of Community College Audit Reports.

The Office of Legislative Audits is part of the Maryland General Assembly’s Department of Legislative Services. As described by the Office,

Our mission is to serve the General Assembly and the citizens of Maryland by providing independent, objective, and non-partisan audits and evaluations of State government agencies and local school systems.  These audits assist the General Assembly in its oversight responsibilities and lead to improved performance throughout State government.

This past October, the Office released several reports, including Review of Community College Audit Reports – Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2017. Maryland counties provide funding to support Maryland’s community colleges in partnership with the State.

The Office of Legislative Audit’s report found that for several community colleges, pension benefits and other post-employment benefits were pressuring budgets.
