Best Practices Reviews
Best practices reviews identify variations in the cost or effectiveness of services delivered by local governments, including counties, cities, villages, and towns, and recommend practices to save public funds or improve effectiveness. As specified in s. 13.94 (8), Wis. Stats., the frequency, scope, and subject of these reviews are determined by the State Auditor, with advice of the four-member Best Practices Advisory Council whose members represent the Wisconsin Counties Association, the League of Wisconsin Municipalities, and the Wisconsin Towns Association.
