North Carolina Office of the State Auditor Holding state government & entities that receive public money accountable, working on behalf of North Carolinians to eliminate waste, fraud, & abuse.

OSA protects the interests of taxpayers and others who provide financial resources to the State of North Carolina. One way OSA protects the interest of taxpayers is through the operation of a Tipline for the submission of allegations of fraud, waste, and abuse. Allegations of fraud, waste and abuse should be sent to OSA by calling 1-800-730-TIPS (8477) or clicking https://www.auditor.nc.gov/about-us/state-auditors-tipline. Because this is a public forum, if you choose to post an allegation on these pages, OSA cannot protect your anonymity. Posts to this site, in connection with the transaction of public business, are subject to the N.C. Public Records Law and may be disclosed to third parties. Our Work
The Office of the State Auditor (OSA) performs an array of work, including financial statement audits, financial related audits, performance audits, information technology audits, and investigative reports. We examine all facets of state government, including education, health, transportation, computer systems, regulatory processes, and public safety. We conduct special studies as requested by the Legislature and audit federal grant programs to ensure North Carolina can continue to receive federal money. Our work helps improve the efficiency of state government and helps the state retain its coveted AAA bond rating. We do not audit individuals for tax compliance or examine individual tax returns. Our work is focused on improving state government and uncovering waste and abuse of state tax dollars by state agencies or private entities that receive state funds.

The NC Office of the State Auditor’s new report details the contributing factors to years of delays impacting the Blue Ridge Road Underpass Project. The project aims to build an underpass that will direct Blue Ridge Road under Hillsborough Street, Beryl Road, and the railroad tracks near the southeast corner of the State Fairgrounds. Initially scheduled for completion in July 2023, the project has required a 41% funding increase and completion has been pushed back to spring 2027.

OSA found that railroad right-of-entry issues and poor soil conditions contributed to the delays. “This is a complex project and railroad issues have delayed it from the start, but the need for this underpass hasn’t gone away,” said State Auditor Dave Boliek. “As this report shows, delays cost taxpayers additional dollars. Enhanced transparency and public reporting will help manage expectations and hopefully drive an additional sense of urgency.”

The report includes recommendations for the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) to implement; read it for yourself (link in comments).
