The Local Government Audit Division tracks over 4,000 Colorado local governments for compliance with the Local Government Audit Law, which requires submission of an annual independent financial audit to the OSA. Crystal and her team review audit reports and requests for exemption from audit for compliance with generally accepted accounting principles and state statutes.
Prior to joining the OSA in February 2008, Crystal first started her career in governmental accounting with the City of Golden. After nearly 13 years there, she worked for a CPA firm auditing local governments in Colorado for 4 years.
