Roger Norman, legislative auditor for the state of Arkansas, received the American Institute for Certified Public Accountants’ Outstanding CPAs in Government Award.

Norman, who received the state-level award, manages 275 employees to provide approximately 1,000 audits, reports, and special projects each year to assist the Arkansas General Assembly in making policy decisions and ensuring proper accountability, stewardship, and transparency of public funds and resources.

Norman has directed the Arkansas Division of Legislative Audit to help meet federal single-audit deadlines while auditing American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds totaling about $3 billion.

He has increased the division’s focus on technology and other resources that would facilitate a paperless audit management program to reduce expense and increase efficiency.
