Bringing New Jersey’s Financial Picture into Focus

June 3, 2025

A new law, initiated by the NJCPA and the New Jersey Business and Industry Association, requires the state auditor to provide a plain-language summary of New Jersey’s full financial picture — well beyond what’s included in the annual budget. Former state treasurer David Rousseau joins us to discuss what’s included in the new report and how New Jersey compares to surrounding states.
