The New Mexico Office of the State Auditor (OSA) has two statutory purposes: (1) to ensure that the financial affairs of every agency shall be thoroughly examined and audited each year by the state auditor, personnel of the state auditor's office designated by the state auditor or independent auditors approved by the state auditor and (2) cause the financial affairs and transactions of an agency to be audited in whole or in part.

The first priority of the Office of the State Auditor (OSA) is to protect New Mexico's taxpayers by ensuring that government effectively and efficiently serves the needs of all New Mexicans.

The Conservatorship Division is responsible for ensuring that the Division meets the requirements imposed by House Bill 234, effective July 1, 2021. The Division's first priority is to ensure that all Conservator's Annual Reports forwarded by the courts are logged, assessed for risk, and analyzed to determine if the OSA will conduct an audit, request additional supporting documentation, or decline to do the audit within 15 days of receiving the Report. These Audits are performed in accordance with consultation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. This job contributes to the OSA by conducting fact-finding, data analysis, follow-up, report review and preparation, responding to constituents, and collaboration related to conservatorships.
