Auditor cites $21 billion in errors, puts rare disclaimer on Nebraska's financial report
The State of Nebraska’s end-of-the-year financial report contained more than $21 billion in errors, according to a management letter released Tuesday by the State Auditor’s Office.

Assistant Deputy Auditor Craig Kubicek said the auditors issued the disclaimer because they found problems with the state’s accounting process, not with mismanagement of funds.
“We didn’t see big issues with money missing or fraud,” he said. “But when the state doesn’t get a clean audit opinion, it’s a big deal.”
