Auditor McCarthy joins national association’s executive committee

Washington State Auditor Pat McCarthy has been appointed to the executive committee of the National State Auditors Association. The nonpartisan group represents state auditors' interests in financial management and provides training and resources to professionals in the field.

“It's an honor to serve with my colleagues across the nation as we work to provide all Americans the government transparency and accountability they expect,” said McCarthy.

The association's executive committee met and unanimously voted to name McCarthy as an at-large member on Dec. 18. She takes a position created by the retirement of Martha Mavredes, who had been Virginia's Auditor of Public Accounts.

The National State Auditors Association is a department of the National Association of State Auditors, Comptrollers and Treasurers. More information can be found at www.nasact.org.
