Colorado Politics: The Colorado State Auditor will participate in a coalition of 14 states and US territories that will audit how each state has reported and monitored cases of COVID-19.

According to a statement Thursday from State Auditor Dianne Ray, the audit hopes to “improve understanding of the pandemic’s progression and to better guide public health actions in the future.”

Ray said they are still looking at the areas to audit that will be “meaningful” for Coloradans as well as assessing data against those from other states.

Five states — Delaware, Florida, Mississippi, Ohio and Pennsylvania — have already developed an audit framework for the other states.
