Ohio's Auditor of State Keith Faber's office has announced that a new round of audit reports will be released on Tuesday, September 30.

They're on the frontline, wielding audits as tools to bring abuses to light. These upcoming reports, dropping semiweekly, will provide fresh insights into the financial dealings of various public entities across Ohio.
