Accountability

A real state-auditor finding

CAP's first accountability feature starts with the official FY2025 Boyle County audit.

State auditor finding

Boyle County Fiscal Court: inadequate oversight over accounting, reporting and financial-management practices

Kentucky's Auditor of Public Accounts identified accounting and oversight problems and described the issue as a repeat finding from the prior year.

$25.96MReceipts cited for a Tax Administration Fund the audit says was not budgeted for FY2025.

$11.11MTransfer the audit says was recorded as an operating expense rather than a transfer.

$200KAmount the audit says outstanding principal was overstated.

CAP standard: an accounting-control finding is not proof of theft, fraud or corruption.

What CAP stands for

Conservative principles. Evidence-first accountability.

CAP is independent of any political party and applies the same evidence standard to allies and opponents.

Constitutional liberty

Protect individual rights and question unnecessary government power.

Fiscal responsibility

Ask what taxpayers paid, who approved it and what the public received.

Government transparency

Use agendas, contracts, audits, minutes and public records.

Equal accountability

Republican, Democrat, independent or appointed official — the standard does not change.

Corrections

Correct significant factual errors openly rather than protect a narrative.

Citizen government

Public institutions exist to serve the citizens who fund and authorize them.

Citizen submissions

The secure submission workflow is not live yet.

Private submission queue comes next

The planned form will accept a concern, agency, source links and optional documents, then hold everything for private review before publication.

No fake investigations.
CAP Investigates currently has zero published investigations and will stay there until a real matter has been researched and reviewed.
