At the April 22nd, 2026 Legislative Budget and Audit Committee, this committee approved a legislative audit contract with SystemSoft, which is a cybersecurity firm, to conduct a comprehensive security review of 3 state systems. Today we are asking for the committee's approval of an amendment to that contract to expand the scope of work to include a new mobile application for an additional contract amount for $17,700. We didn't know this mobile application existed when we did the RFP. So we need to add that to the scope of work. We are also asking for approval to amend the contract's work schedule to accommodate a delay in implementing one of the systems that is subject to the review.
The Alaska Legislative Budget and Audit Committee voted unanimously Thursday to commission a special audit of the Board of Fisheries, examining whether the board followed its own statutes, regulations, and public-notice requirements from October 2023 through July 2026.

Chris Curtis submitted her resignation as Alaska's legislative auditor effective August 30, ending more than 34 years with the division. A three-person subcommittee will review applicants and recommend a nominee to the full committee in August, followed by separate House and Senate confirmation votes.
