Welcome to the Office of the Comptroller

Our Mission

The Office of the Comptroller oversees the financial systems and processes of the Commonwealth, including vendor payments, spending on government programs, and the state payroll.  We are responsible for statewide accounting and for financial reporting under both GASB (Government Accounting Standards Board) and federal requirements, and for providing transparency to the citizens, taxpayers, and residents of the Commonwealth.  As an independent executive-level agency, we work to ensure that financial operations are compliant with state finance law and to maintain secure, controlled, and effective financial systems.  We combine oversight with collaboration to partner with financial staff at more than 150 departments across state government, with state employees, and with contractors, payees, and vendors.
