In 2014 the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission (JLARC) directed its staff to review the development and management of state contracts. Interest in this topic was prompted by problems that arose from several recent high-profile contracts. Staff were directed to evaluate whether the state's policies ensure that contracts provide good value to the state and mitigate the risks to agencies and the public. Report, summary, and recommendations are posted at http://jlarc.virginia.gov/contracts.asp.
