I'm back...

It's been over a year since I posted on this blog.  I used to have time in the morning before going to work to write about thoughts I had.  But then I got a new dog that needed walking in the morning and that took all my spare time.  It is nine months until I leave office and potentially auditing all together.  I am going to try to post my thoughts as I look back on 20 years of auditing.  Who would have thought...

One of things I've been thinking about lately is the new generation of auditors.  Do they have the passion to make government better or are they focused on the auditing standards and the process?  When I started I had never heard of performance auditing but it sounded like what I had been trying to accomplish in various government positions over the years.  I think I have mentioned this before but one of the things that inspired me to go to graduate school was a supervisor telling me that what I was attempting to change couldn't be changed where I was at.  I decided to go back, get a masters and start my career at the policy level. And then I saw that ad for a position that sounded like what I was doing but also sounded so much better.  And my career began.

More later hopefully.
