On February 24, Governor Ron DeSantis signed an executive order launching the Florida DOGE Task Force, a state-level initiative aimed at eliminating inefficiencies and reducing costs across governmental agencies and potentially government-funded private entities, vendors, partners, and contractors. This task force will operate for one year, using artificial intelligence to conduct audits and recommend budget cuts.

These entities will likely face increased scrutiny and be required to comply with audit findings and implement recommended changes.  WSHC+B advises local governments and government-funded entities undergoing government investigations and audits, providing guidance to navigate compliance requirements and regulatory reviews. Our team has extensive experience advising public sector clients on audit response strategies and risk management.
