The National Association of State Auditors, Comptrollers and Treasurers is an organization for state officials tasked with the financial management of state government. NASACT’s members are officials who have been elected or appointed to the offices of state auditor, state comptroller or state treasurer in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. territories.

History

NASACT originated in Washington, DC. in 1915. At that time, a group of state auditors and comptrollers came together and decided to institute an annual meeting for state governmental finance officials from around the country. Thus, NASACT’s technical network of government finance professionals was born.

Since the 1970s, NASACT has actively expanded its role as a representative of state interests in financial management by providing leadership and training to meet the increasingly complex challenges faced by state governments. Although NASACT has a major interest in national issues, it does not engage in any partisan political activity and uses no staff or organizational resources to support any such activity.

NASACT also manages two secretariats: the National State Auditors Association (NSAA) and the National Association of State Comptrollers (NASC).

Both NSAA and NASC are included under the umbrella of NASACT’s budget and use staff hired by NASACT.
