Well known auditor on NY Times Front Page

I opened the NYTimes web site this morning and saw a familiar face. Mark Funkhouser, previous Kansas City auditor, is well respected by the local government auditing community and was a leader in auditing. I use some of the columns that he wrote for the Local Government Auditors Quarterly to train new staff. He ran for mayor of Kansas City and won. The transition from auditor to mayor has not been easy.

Back in the game

I have been gone for a while. Some of you know the reason. I had many other things on my mind unrelated to auditing. Although, now that I think about it, it was related to outliers. When you have cancer you can look at statistics and play the odds, the outliers. Auditing posts to follow.
