משרד מבקר המדינה הוא גוף הביקורת הגדול בישראל עם כמות עצומה של נושאים בהם הוא נדרש לטפל. נושא הסייבר הפך להיות נושא מהותי לאור אין ספור המתקפות כנגד גופי מדינה והניסיון להשבית מערכות של גופי ממשל, בריאות, ביטחון ועוד. עו"ד הדס תמם בן אברהם סגנית הדיקן בקריה האקדמית אונו ונחשון פינקו אוונגליסט סייבר מארחים את ליאורה שמעוני לשעבר סגנית מבקר המדינה ומי שהייתה אחראית על נושא ביקורות הסייבר מתאם משרד מבקר המדינה בגופי ממשל וגופי סמך בשיחה על חשיבות ביצוע ביקורות של הדירקטוריון לטובת מעורבות, חיזוק והגבהת החומות The State Comptroller's Office is the most significant audit body in Israel, with a considerable number of issues that it is required to address. The problem of cybercrime has become a considerable concern in light of the numerous attacks against state bodies and attempts to disrupt government, health, security, and other critical systems. Adv. Hadas Tamam Ben Avraham, Deputy Dean at the Ono Academic College, and Nachshon Pincu, a cyber evangelist, host Liora Shimoni, former Deputy State Comptroller and the person responsible for the issue of cyber audits, the State Comptroller's Office coordinator for government and regulatory bodies, in a conversation about the importance of conducting audits by the board of directors in favor of engagement, strengthening, and raising the walls

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Diplomatic reporter Lazar Berman, political reporter Tal Schneider and reporter Sue Surkes join host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's Daily Briefing. Hamas and Israel reportedly reached an agreement for the release of four Israeli hostages’ bodies and 602 Palestinian security prisoners, the terror group and an Israeli official said late Tuesday, which would an end to an impasse that risked collapsing the multiphase ceasefire agreement before its first stage was even completed. Berman weighs in whether this means that talks are now on track for phase two. Speaking in Washington DC, yesterday Opposition Leader Yair Lapid presented a “day after” plan for Gaza, envisioning an extended Egyptian guardianship of the war-torn Strip. The plan would have Egypt take responsibility for managing Gaza for eight years, with the option to extend it to 15 years. Schneider describes some of the potential obstacles. The budget is meant to pass by the end of March, but this morning we’re hearing threats from the head of United Torah Judaism that he'll hold it up until haredi young men are fully exempt from military conscription. But is this a real threat? Family, friends and the president on Tuesday eulogized Oded Lifshitz, the 83-year-old peace activist who was taken hostage on October 7, 2023, from Kibbutz Nir Oz and slain in captivity, with his wife lamenting that he was killed by those he sought to help. Today, Israel accompanies Shiri Bibas and her sons Ariel and Kfir on their way to burial. We describe the mood in the country. In a heart-rending address during a rally of relocated Kibbutz Nir Oz residents held in Kiryat Gat on Saturday, the mother of Yoav Avital, a friend of murdered hostage Ariel Bibas, described his loss from the perspective of her 5-year-old son. Surkes describes his ineffable pain. An interim report issued Monday by the State Comptroller on the rehabilitation of Gaza border communities following the October 7, 2023, Hamas invasion found that communities badly hit on that day but located more than 7 kilometers (4.3 miles) from the Gaza border — thus making them ineligible for special state support — were suffering and in need of aid. Surkes reports how these include the southern city of Ofakim, where 53 people were murdered. Please see today's ongoing live blog for more updates.

While the Public Service Commission (PSC) and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) have taken considerable steps in planning for NYS's transition to renewable energy, they must take stronger action to meet the state's clean energy goals, according to an audit by the NYS Comptroller. The audit found inadequate planning, monitoring and assessment of risks and challenges in the PSC's efforts to help the state meet the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act's (Climate Act) targets, which seek 70% renewably sourced electricity by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2040. Tina Kim, State Comptroller for State Government Accountability, talks about the audit with Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

According to a recent investigation by the New Jersey Office of the State Comptroller, law enforcement officers being trained by the for-profit training company Street Cop were “taught unconstitutional policing tactics, glorified violence, denigrated women and minorities, and likely violated a myriad of state laws and policies.” Street Cop does business with law enforcement agencies in 46 different states. Shirley LaVarco, an attorney at Civil Rights Corps joins us to unpack the failures of police training, especially in the unregulated environment in which these private companies operate. Her analysis, laid out in The Appeal, argues that more police training will not make people safer, reducing unnecessary police encounters will. LaVarco writes “While banning pretextual traffic stops won't fully transform the culture of racism and misogyny permeating American policing, it is a common-sense first step.” Read LaVarco's piece in The Appeal: https://theappeal.org/police-training-violent-racist-ban-pretextual-traffic-stops/ The RISE Houston campaign seeks to end pretexutal stops, end the city's contract with ineffective surveillance technology like Shotspotter, freeze police spending and invest in evidence-based solutions that actually make communities safer.

Tennessee Comptroller, Jason Comptroller, recently addressed farmers at the Tennessee Farm Bureau Convention. He says he wants to make sure farmers know they are working hard on their behalf in state government. Amy Beckham Comptroller addressing farmers. Hello there and welcome to Tennessee Home and Farm Radio. I'm Amy Beckham. Jason Mumpower It's been 28 years now that I've been involved in State service, I have worked hard to make sure I've been aligned with the Farm Bureau and the rural values of Tennessee. Amy Beckham Well, Tennessee's comptroller Jason Mumpower recently spoke to farmers at the Tennessee Farm Bureau 102 annual meeting. And during his remarks, he wanted to be sure farmers and rural people understood his department's role and state government. Jason Mumpower One thing that I know as comptroller is that the key to being a successful farmer is to be able to manage your budget wisely. And I want all of our farmers, all of our rural citizens to know that in Tennessee, we work just as hard to manage our budget in a conservative, meaningful way. Amy Beckham A major topic discussed was the high value of land and the rapid rate at which folks are moving into the state. Manpower explains a little more. Jason Mumpower One thing that everybody knows is that Tennessee has been one of the fastest growing states in the nation, the seventh fastest in the country in 2022. We all know that we have people moving into Tennessee from out of state because they want our way of life. But when they come, it can throw our property and our property value market out of whack. And it's done that just a little bit. And I believe that in some cases, longtime Tennessee homeowners longtime Tennessee landowners are unfortunately bearing more than their fair share of the tax burden. Amy Beckham To help alleviate the issue. The comptroller's office is exploring some options, and one of those is appraising property more frequently than it's done. Jason Mumpower Now, one way to fix that is the more frequent reappraisals where we can make sure that everybody is paying a fair and equitable share based on the value of their property right now the law is for five or six years to three or four would be better at least. Amy Beckham Thanks for joining us, everyone for Tennessee home and Farm Radio I'm Amy Beckham.
