NASACT

What NASACT does

NASACT (National Association of State Auditors, Comptrollers and Treasurers) is a private, unincorporated non-profit professional association founded in 1915 and headquartered in Lexington, Kentucky. It serves as the premier organization bringing together state auditors, state comptrollers, and state treasurers from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories to address government financial management issues. NASACT manages two affiliated secretariats—the National State Auditors Association (NSAA) and the National Association of State Comptrollers (NASC)—and operates a small staff of 13 employees delivering programs on behalf of its member offices.

The organization's core offerings consist of annual conferences (NASACT Annual, NSAA Annual, NASC Annual, NSAA IT Conference, Government Internal Audit Summit, Medicaid Training Summit, Emerging Leaders Conference), training events, webinars, and awards programs recognizing excellence in state government financial management. Supporting resources include the Performance Audit Database, Member Directory, Career Center, Benchmarking Program, Peer Review program, and publications such as "Auditing in the States" and the "Comptroller's Book." NASACT does not develop proprietary technology products and offers no public-facing API.

NASACT generates revenue through three primary streams: recurring membership dues from state offices, conference and training registration fees (with tiered pricing for member offices, other government entities, and non-government participants), and Corporate Associates Program fees paid by business partners seeking access to the state finance community. The organization is governed by an Executive Committee elected annually from its membership and is not venture-backed; it is owned and controlled by its member state government finance officials. NASACT participates in standards-setting processes with GASB, AICPA, GAO, and FAF to advocate on federal regulations affecting state governments, while explicitly refraining from partisan political activity.

Direct peers

• Government Finance Officers Association: GFOA is the most direct peer to NASACT — both are membership associations serving U.S. public-sector finance professionals (state and local) with training, certification, standards-setting advocacy, and annual conferences. GFOA serves a broader finance-officer audience while NASACT focuses specifically on auditors, comptrollers, and treasurers, but they operate in the same professional association model.
• Association of Government Accountants: AGA is a professional association for government accountability and finance professionals across federal, state, and local levels. Comparable to NASACT in mission (training, CPE, advocacy on accounting/auditing standards) and member base, though AGA's membership is broader than the state-only focus of NASACT.
• National Association of State Treasurers: NAST is a membership organization specifically for state treasurers, which is one of the three constituencies NASACT serves. While NAST focuses solely on treasurers and NASACT is the umbrella, both operate as state-government professional associations with advocacy, training, and convening functions.
• The Institute of Internal Auditors: The IIA is the global professional association for internal auditors, including government internal audit professionals — the audience for NASACT's Government Internal Audit Summit. Comparable in delivering certification, standards advocacy (IPPF), and training to government audit practitioners.
• National Association of State Budget Officers: NASBO is a membership association for state budget officers — a closely adjacent constituency to NASACT's state comptrollers and treasurers. It offers similar training, peer networking, and policy analysis services for state financial executives.

Broad incumbents

• National Governors Association: NGA is a bipartisan association of U.S. governors that influences state fiscal and administrative policy. While NASACT serves appointed state financial officers (auditors, comptrollers, treasurers) and NGA serves elected governors, both operate as convening bodies shaping state government policy and practice.
• American Institute of Certified Public Accountants: AICPA is the national professional organization for CPAs and sets auditing standards (via the PCAOB and ASB) that affect state auditor offices. NASACT actively submits technical responses to AICPA, indicating an influential but non-member relationship; AICPA is the broader standards-setting incumbent in NASACT's orbit.
• National Council of State Legislatures: NCSL is a nonpartisan association serving state legislators and legislative staff. It is a comparable professional-association model serving state government officials, with research, training, and convening functions analogous to NASACT's offerings for financial officers.
