Our Guest Speaker this morning was Mary Mosiman. Mary has been serving as Iowa’s Auditor of State since May 13, 2013. Initially appointed by Governor Terry Branstad to fill the unexpired term of her predecessor, she was elected to a full term in the November 2014 general election. Mary has started a new initiative effective January 2018 impacting local government officials, and is intended to benefit all Iowans. She came to share that information with us this morning. 
Mary serves the State as the “Taxpayer’s Watchdog” and her Office is responsible for the audits of state agencies, counties, cities, school districts and other governmental subdivisions. The Office is also required to provide guidelines to CPA firms performing governmental audits, and plays a major role in fraud investigations around the State.
