RE:    S.C.R. No. 162

 

 

 

Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Eighth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2015

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 162 entitled:

 

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING A FINANCIAL AUDIT OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY EXPENDITURES IN THE STATE EXECUTIVE BRANCH,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to request the Auditor to conduct a financial audit of specified executive branch departments and their attached agencies with regard to information technology expenditures.

 

     Your Committee received written comments in support of this measure from the Department of Accounting and General Services.

 

     Your Committee finds that the results of the financial audit will provide information to the Legislature on information technology expenditures to enable establishment of a baseline. Your Committee believes this information will allow the Legislature to identify opportunities to improve department and agency operations that will benefit the public.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 162 and recommends its adoption.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
