State Leadership Accountability Act (SLAA) Report

SLAA requires each state entity to maintain effective risk management and internal control systems, to evaluate and monitor the effectiveness of these systems on an ongoing basis, and to annually report on the adequacy of the entity’s systems of risk management and internal control.
