Find Audit Reports, Records & Office Help

The Maine Office of the State Auditor independently examines State financial records, federal-program compliance and internal controls. It also maintains major statewide audit reports and has statutory responsibilities involving county, municipal and Unorganized Territory finances.

Use this guide to find the right report, understand audit findings, request an unpublished public record, report suspected fraud or waste, and contact the correct office without being sent through unrelated government pages.

Start with the quick answer Find an audit report Request public records
State Auditor does not mean property assessor. The Maine State Auditor audits government finances and compliance. The office does not determine the taxable value of your house, process your individual state tax refund or maintain every Maine agency’s public records.

Quick answer: what can you do here?

Use the Maine Office of the State Auditor when you need a State Single Audit, audit finding, county or municipal audit report, State Auditor public record, information about audit requirements, or a confidential report of suspected fraud, waste, inefficiency or abuse involving Maine State Government.

1 Find a published report Search the official audit collections before filing a records request.
2 Read the correct section Use the executive summary, findings and corrective-action sections.
3 Request missing records Use Maine FOAA for records the State Auditor actually maintains.
4 Report suspected fraud Use the Auditor’s fraud process when State resources are involved.

Office responsibility

What the Maine State Auditor actually does

Maine law gives the Office of the State Auditor authority to examine State Government accounts and financial records, perform the statewide Single Audit, carry out statutory responsibilities involving counties and municipalities, review certain State-funded entities and report audit findings and recommendations.

Audit and assurance work
  • State financial records
  • Federal-award compliance
  • Internal financial controls
  • County financial audits and reports
  • Municipal audit requirements
  • Certain recipients of State appropriations or grants
Legislative and oversight work
  • Reports findings to the Legislature
  • Reports improper financial practices when identified
  • Conducts follow-up on material weaknesses and reportable conditions
  • Can assist the Legislature or Governor with financial investigations
  • Reviews aspects of State budgets and dedicated funds under statute
Important distinction: Maine law specifically separates auditing from the State’s accounting function. The State Controller maintains the State’s central accounting system and prepares financial reports; the State Auditor independently audits that financial information.

How the State Auditor is selected

Maine’s State Auditor is not elected in a statewide popular election. State law provides for election by joint ballot of the Maine Senate and House of Representatives, with a four-year term or service until a successor is elected and qualified. The office also has professional experience and certification requirements.

The official office currently identifies Matthew Dunlap, CIA as State Auditor.

What the 2025 Maine Single Audit actually says

The latest published statewide Single Audit covers the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 and was transmitted by State Auditor Matthew Dunlap on March 26, 2026.

$6.0B Federal financial assistance expended by Maine during FY2025.
13 Major federal programs included in the audit.
72% Share of FY2025 federal expenditures represented by those major programs.
Unmodified Opinion on Maine’s basic financial statements.
1 Financial-reporting internal-control deficiency classified as a material weakness.
9 Financial-reporting significant deficiencies identified.
19 Material weaknesses identified in internal control over federal-program compliance.
43 Additional significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance.

Ten major federal programs received qualified compliance opinions

The report states that material noncompliance resulted in qualified opinions for ten of the thirteen major programs tested. The remaining three major programs complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements tested.

STLT public-health or healthcare-crisis response activities
Adoption Assistance – Title IV-E
Child Nutrition Cluster
Disaster Grants – Public Assistance
Every Student Succeeds Act / Preschool Development Grants
Foster Care – Title IV-E
Medicaid Cluster
SNAP Cluster
Summer Electronic Benefit Transfer Program for Children
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families
A qualified audit opinion is not the same as saying an entire program is fraudulent. It means the auditors identified material noncompliance with requirements relevant to that major program. Read the individual finding, agency response and corrective-action plan before drawing a conclusion.

Audit terminology made useful

Understand a Maine audit finding before quoting it

Common audit terms translated into practical meaning
Term
Plain-English meaning
What you should check next
Unmodified opinion
Auditors conclude the financial statements are fairly presented in all material respects under the applicable accounting framework.
Still read the findings; an unmodified financial opinion does not mean there were no control problems.
Qualified opinion
A specific material issue prevents an unmodified conclusion for the matter being audited.
Identify the exact program and compliance requirement affected.
Material weakness
A serious control deficiency creates a reasonable possibility that material error or noncompliance will not be prevented or detected and corrected timely.
Read the condition, cause, effect and corrective action.
Significant deficiency
Less severe than a material weakness but important enough to warrant attention by those responsible for governance.
Check whether the issue repeats from a prior year.
Questioned costs
Costs auditors question because of possible noncompliance, inadequate documentation or another audit issue.
Do not automatically call the amount fraud or a confirmed loss.
Corrective action
Management’s proposed response to the audit finding.
Compare it with the next year’s prior-finding status.
Research shortcut: When researching one agency, search the PDF first for the agency name, then record every finding number. Use those finding numbers to move between the findings section, corrective-action plan and prior-year status.
Local-government audit reports

Find a Maine county or municipal audit

The Office of the State Auditor maintains separate report indexes for Maine counties and municipalities. These pages are far more useful than a general web search because they organize reports by government, fiscal year and auditing firm.

Find a county audit

Open County Annual Audit Reports The table lists all Maine counties rather than requiring a keyword search.
Find the county row Confirm the fiscal-year-end month because not every county uses the same fiscal-year ending.
Choose the fiscal year A date in the year column links to the available audit report.
Check the auditing firm The table identifies the CPA or audit firm associated with the filing.
Do not assume a blank cell means no audit exists A report may not yet have been filed or posted. Contact the responsible county or State Auditor if needed.
New 2026 county rule: Beginning July 29, 2026, the State Auditor’s county-report page states that county audits must be forwarded to the Office of the State Auditor within 12 months after the close of the fiscal year.

Find a city or town audit

Open Municipal Annual Audit Reports The page provides an alphabetical municipality table.
Locate the municipality Make sure you are using the government name rather than a village, ZIP code or unincorporated place.
Read across the fiscal-year columns Select the available report for the exact year you need.
Record the auditing firm This is useful when asking about report issuance or a missing filing.
Search county audit reports Search municipal audit reports

For municipal officials and CPA firms filing an audit

Maine’s State Auditor municipal-form page says auditors of municipalities and counties must submit a certified Governmental Audit Procedure form with a certified copy of the postaudit report within 30 days after completion of the postaudit under the applicable municipal filing law.

Complete the Governmental Audit Procedure form
Prepare the certified postaudit report

Freedom of Access Act

Request Maine State Auditor public records

Maine calls its open-records law the Freedom of Access Act (FOAA). FOAA is not the federal Freedom of Information Act, and there is no central Maine office that retrieves every State record.

Send the request to the agency that actually has the record. If you want DHHS records, Department of Labor records or State Controller records, asking the State Auditor merely because the Auditor audits those agencies is usually the wrong route.

Before making a FOAA request

Search the Annual Single Audit archive
Search county or municipal audit tables
Check management letters
Check fraud-report archives
Identify the exact agency that created or maintains the record
Write down a useful date range and subject

Micro steps for an effective request

Identify a specific record Ask for an identifiable document, correspondence set, audit work product that is legally public, contract, report or date-bounded record rather than “everything about” a broad subject.
Confirm the State Auditor is the custodian Use the statewide FOAA contact list when another agency may maintain the requested record.
Give a practical date range For example, specify fiscal year 2025 or January 1 through March 31 rather than “all years.”
Name the program, agency or report Include any finding number, audit title, federal program or other identifier you already know.
Ask for electronic records when suitable This can eliminate paper-copy and mailing costs.
Ask for a cost estimate before expensive work Narrow the request if the estimated search or redaction cost is greater than expected.
Save the acknowledgment Maine requires acknowledgment within five working days after a sufficiently described request reaches the office responsible for the record.
FOAA request wording “Under Maine’s Freedom of Access Act, I am requesting an electronic copy of [specific records] maintained by the Office of the State Auditor for [date range/fiscal year]. The subject is [agency/program/audit], and any known report or finding number is [number]. If fulfilling this request is expected to incur a fee, please provide a cost estimate before proceeding.”

What it means for you
Submitting a request
No initial FOAA submission fee.
You do not pay merely to ask for a public record.
Acknowledgment
Within 5 working days.
This is acknowledgment—not necessarily completion.
Production deadline
Within a reasonable period of time.
The office should provide a good-faith estimate rather than automatically produce everything in five days.
Inspecting records
Generally no inspection fee.
Charges can apply when records have to be compiled or converted first.
Black-and-white paper copies
Up to $0.10 per standard page.
Electronic delivery may avoid paper-copy costs.
First staff time
First 2 hours are free.
Narrow requests are more likely to stay inexpensive.
Additional staff time
Up to $25 per hour after the first two hours.
Search, retrieval, compilation and confidential-record redaction can create charges.
Estimate over $50
Requester must be informed before proceeding.
Use that point to narrow an overly broad request.
Estimate over $100
Advance payment may be required.
Ask whether narrower dates or record categories will reduce the cost.
Fee waiver
May be available for indigence or qualifying public-interest disclosure.
A waiver is discretionary rather than automatic.
Cost-control trick: Ask for a report index, existing export or narrow date range first. A targeted request is easier to process than asking staff to search years of correspondence for broad keywords.
Fraud, waste, inefficiency and abuse

Report suspected misuse of Maine State resources

The State Auditor maintains a referral process for suspected fraud, waste, inefficiency or abuse involving State Government. A useful complaint needs facts and evidence rather than only a conclusion that something “looks wrong.”

Anonymous and confidential are not the same thing. The Auditor says anonymous complaints are not investigated because staff may be unable to obtain enough corroborating information. You should identify yourself and provide contact information, but Maine law generally protects the complainant’s identity unless the complainant agrees in writing to disclosure.

Prepare these facts before reporting

Agency, office, bureau or program involved
Names and roles of relevant individuals
What allegedly occurred
Date or date range
Location
State funds, equipment or program involved
Estimated financial effect, if known
Contracts, invoices, messages or other supporting evidence
How you learned of the activity
Reliable contact information for follow-up

What happens after submission

Initial review Auditor staff determine whether the complaint contains adequate facts and falls within the office’s jurisdiction.
Financial or compliance review The office may investigate when sufficient evidence indicates fraud, illegal acts or significant State-resource waste within its jurisdiction.
Referral when another office should act Criminal matters may be referred to the Attorney General or a District Attorney. Performance or efficiency concerns may be referred to OPEGA.
Reporting Maine law requires reports concerning complaints and semiannual reporting on hotline activity while preserving statutorily confidential information.
The State Auditor does not have general enforcement power. An audit or investigation can document findings and make referrals, but criminal prosecution, employment discipline, repayment and other enforcement actions may belong to another authority.

Avoid misdirected requests

The State Auditor is not always the office you need

You need your State tax refund Contact Maine Revenue Services. The State Auditor does not process individual income-tax returns or refunds.
You dispute the value of your house Start with the municipal assessor or the government responsible for assessment in that location, not the State Auditor.
You need the State’s accounting records or ACFR The Office of the State Controller prepares and maintains State accounting and financial-reporting information.
You need records from another State department Submit the FOAA request to that department’s public access contact.
You need independent program-performance evaluation OPEGA may be the relevant legislative oversight office depending on the subject.
You suspect criminal conduct The Auditor may refer appropriate financial matters, but immediate criminal or safety issues belong with the proper law-enforcement authority.
Fast routing rule: Ask, “Who possesses the record or has the legal authority to complete my requested action?” That question usually identifies the correct Maine office faster than searching only by the word “auditor.”
Unorganized Territory

State Auditor responsibilities beyond the Single Audit

Maine’s Office of the State Auditor also administers fiscal responsibilities involving the Unorganized Territory. The Fiscal Administrator reviews and analyzes budgets and expenditures of county and State agencies requesting Unorganized Territory funding and works with the annual Municipal Cost Components process.

Quality assurance

Who checks the auditors?

Government Auditing Standards require external peer review. The State Auditor’s official peer-review page states that the office received a favorable opinion in a June 6, 2025 letter from the National Association of State Auditors, Comptrollers and Treasurers.

The review occurs every three years. Earlier published peer reviews include 2022 and 2019.

Why this matters: A peer review examines whether the audit organization’s system of quality control is suitably designed and operating under applicable professional requirements. It is different from the State’s annual Single Audit.

Maine State Auditor FAQs

Who is the Maine State Auditor?

Matthew Dunlap, CIA, is listed by the Maine Office of the State Auditor as the State Auditor. Maine law provides that the State Auditor is elected by joint ballot of the Legislature and serves a four-year term or until a successor is elected and qualified.

What does the Maine State Auditor do?

The Office of the State Auditor independently audits state financial records, conducts Maine’s annual Single Audit, has statutory responsibilities involving county and municipal audits, reviews certain state-funded entities and reports audit findings and recommendations.

Where can I find Maine State Audit reports?

Use the Office of the State Auditor’s official report pages. The Annual Single Audit page contains statewide Single Audit reports, while separate pages contain management letters, municipal reports, county reports, fraud reports and other special reports.

What is the latest Maine Single Audit?

As of August 7, 2026, the Office of the State Auditor publishes the State of Maine Single Audit Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. It was transmitted March 26, 2026.

How do I request public records from the Maine State Auditor?

First check whether the report is already published. For records held by the Office of the State Auditor that are not online, submit a sufficiently specific Maine Freedom of Access Act request. Maine does not require a special FOAA form or require the request to be in writing.

How long does a Maine FOAA public-record request take?

The agency must acknowledge a sufficiently described public-record request within five working days. That is not a five-day production deadline. Records must be provided within a reasonable period, and the agency provides a good-faith estimate of the time required.

How much can a Maine public-record request cost?

There is no initial FOAA request fee. Standard black-and-white copies may cost up to 10 cents per page. The first two hours of staff search, retrieval, compilation and redaction time are free, after which the agency may charge up to $25 per hour. Additional conversion, storage and mailing costs may apply.

Can I anonymously report fraud to the Maine State Auditor?

The Office of the State Auditor says it does not investigate anonymous complaints. A complainant should provide a name and contact information, but Maine law generally allows the State Auditor to keep the complainant’s identity confidential unless the complainant agrees in writing to disclosure.

Does the Maine State Auditor handle property assessments or state tax refunds?

No. The State Auditor audits government finances and compliance. Local property assessment questions normally belong with the appropriate municipal assessing office, while individual Maine tax return and refund matters belong with Maine Revenue Services.

What is the Maine State Auditor phone number and address?

The Office of the State Auditor lists 207-624-6250 as its main phone number. Its physical office is at 19 Union Street, Suite 223-A, Augusta, Maine 04330. Its mailing address is 66 State House Station, Augusta, Maine 04333-0066.

Information checked August 7, 2026: Current State Auditor identity, office location, contact numbers, business hours, statutory duties, FY2025 Single Audit results, county and municipal audit pages, 2026 county filing change, municipal filing instructions, FOAA contact and fee rules, fraud-reporting procedures, confidentiality rules, Unorganized Territory responsibilities and peer-review information were checked against official Maine government and Maine Legislature sources.
Independent guide: CountyAuditors.org is not the Maine Office of the State Auditor or another Maine government agency. Audit findings should be read in context, and public-record availability can be limited by statutory confidentiality requirements. Verify time-sensitive filing, reporting and records instructions with the responsible government office before acting.

These calculators use the verified 2026 Ohio Department of Taxation amounts and statutory rules. For your exact bill, exemption status, and county-specific deadlines, always confirm with your county auditor and the Ohio Revised Code:

Ohio Dept. of Taxation — Real Property DTE Forms (105A, 105C, 1, 109) ORC 5715 — Board of Revision ORC 5713 — Taxable Real Property ORC 322.02 — Conveyance Fee ORC 319.54(F)(3) — State Fee ORC 5713.30 — CAUV tax.ohio.gov — Main Portal

Estimates use Ohio's 35% statutory assessment ratio and effective tax rate tiers averaged across major Ohio counties. Your actual bill depends on local school levies, voted millage, inside vs. outside millage splits, House Bill 920 reduction factors (HB 920), and special assessments. The 2026 Homestead general amount ($29,000) and enhanced amount ($58,000) reflect HB 187 inflation indexing — your county auditor's office may show slightly different transitional figures. Nothing here is legal or tax advice. CountyAuditors.org is an independent informational directory, not affiliated with any county government.
