Overview

• Gov. DeSantis directed the newly formed Department of Governmental Efficiency to begin on-site audits in Broward County and Gainesville on July 31 using ground teams and artificial intelligence
• Municipalities and law enforcement agencies that fail to comply face withheld state funding and fines of $1,000 per missing information item each day
• The governor plans to announce 10 to 15 additional audits in the coming weeks, with Miami-Dade County among the likely next targets
• Chief Financial Officer Blaise Ingoglia will oversee the audit campaign and enforce compliance requirements on insurance companies
• Critics argue the initiative serves political aims and distracts from oversight gaps in Everglades detention and border emergency spending
