Columbus - Ohio Auditor of State Dave Yost has made several key leadership appointments, including Christine L. Hansen as Director of Performance Audits and Local Government Services.

Hansen, a certified public accountant, served as Chief Financial Officer for the Ohio Rehabilitation Services Commission and the Ohio Attorney General’s Office. She also served previously as Chief of the Local Government Services Division in the Ohio Auditor of State’s Office.

Hansen is a summa cum laude graduate of Franklin University with degrees in Accounting and Business Administration. She now resides in Upper Arlington.
