About Comptroller Operations
The Office of Comptroller Operations prepares and issues the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s annual comprehensive financial report, or ACFR, and the state-level single audit. The office oversees the commonwealth’s uniform accounting, payroll and financial reporting systems. Additionally, Comptroller Operations provides auditing, financial management, accounts payable and receivable services; enterprise-wide travel management and support; quality assurance and process improvement consulting; and other specialized services including enterprise vendor registration and support.
In 2009, the Office of Comptroller Operations undertook a bold reorganization to a shared services model that consolidated nine offices and bureaus and streamlined the commonwealth’s finance business processes that resulted in an annual savings of $10 million compared to 2008 costs. This reorganization earned the office the GFOA’s 2011 E-Government and Technology Award for Excellence in Government Finance. Additionally, in 2022 the Office of Comptroller Operations earned the GFOA Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting for the 36th consecutive year.
