State Auditor Beth Wood Defends Work

NC Office of the State Auditor

  

Recent controversy over the handling of the Medicaid system by the state’s Department of Health and Human Service has pointed a spotlight on a seemingly non-controversial office: the state auditor.

Tasked with assessing programs of many of the state’s governmental agencies, the auditor seeks to provide  information in a politically charged environment. Host Frank Stasio talks with State Auditor Beth Wood about the Medicaid audit and the work of her office.
