The National State Auditors Association was organized as an associate of the National Association of State Auditors, Comptrollers and Treasurers. The two organizations, along with the National Association of State Comptrollers, share staff in NASACT's two offices, in Lexington, Kentucky, and Washington, D.C. NSAA's goals and purpose are listed in its Constitution and Bylaws, which can also be viewed on this site. The organization's mission is to unite state auditors by encouraging and providing opportunities for the free exchange of information and ideas between auditors on the state, federal and local levels.

NSAA performs most of its work through committees. Descriptions of committees and a roster of members can also be found on this site.

NSAA's technical staff includes a program manager and a program assistant. They assist committees with their work and provide administrative support for the committees. In addition, the technical staff does research and surveys on topics of particular interest to the members and provides information as requested. NASACT staff provides considerable administrative support for conferences and other events.

NSAA's annual conference, held each year in June, is an important event, offering educational and networking opportunities for members. NSAA also oversees several programs and activities that are used to enhance the organizations goals and objectives.

• The Auditor Training Program provides training packages that offer guidance in the areas of accounting principles, auditing standards and techniques, effective communication, management and information technology, helping state audit organizations maintain a well-trained staff.
• NSAA's Quality Control Review Program offers coordination and cooperation between state audit organizations and enables members to be reviewed by peers from other states.
• The NSAA Information Technology Conference offers IT auditors from all state agencies the opportunity to share their expertise with each other in an open forum environment.
• The NSAA Middle Management Conference provides a forum for middle managers from state audit agencies to share technical and management innovations implemented by their states.
• The Association's publication, Auditing in the States, summarizes current information covering the characteristics of state auditing offices, implementation of accounting principles and standards, scope of audit work, the quality control review process, budgets, appropriations, salaries, staffing patterns, reporting, training, legislation and other areas of interest to state auditors.
