Columbus – The following statement may be attributed to Auditor of State Dave Yost concerning the Ohio House’s passage of House Bill 384:

“Performance audits get results – we’ve already provided more than a billion dollars in recommended savings in Ohio,” Auditor Yost said.  “Colleges and universities should receive these benefits as well.  I appreciate the good work of Representatives Schaffer and Duffey on this bill, and I look forward to working with the Senate to make it law.”
