Public Auditor Cruz responds to a news article published by the Guam Daily Post on July 23, 2019:

"As the Public Auditor, I am compelled to respond to the Guam Daily Post article on government travel because it casts a negative pall over the integrity of the office. Since I assumed office in September 2018, the Office of Public Accountability (OPA) has complied with the fiscal year 2019 budget prohibition against the use of local funds for travel. OPA has been very fortunate to belong to regional and international organizations such as the Pacific Association of Supreme Audit Institutions (PASAI) and Intosai Development Initiative (IDI) that have sponsored most of the office travel."
