DAVE
In accordance with Session Law 2025-89, the Office of the State Auditor (OSA) has established the Division of Accountability, Value, and Efficiency to assess the continued need for each State agency and the vacant positions within each agency. As part of that assessment, agencies are required to provide OSA information on vacant position details and agency operations and fiscal effectiveness. Agencies should use the DAVE Assistance Web Form to request access to OSA's submission portal. Once granted access, the agency point of contact will be able to submit the required information, or request further assistance from OSA staff. Individuals seeking to provide a tip on government fraud should still use the State Auditor’s Tipline.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. If a position was vacant for 6 months as of August 6, 2025, but has since been filled, do we still need to report it? How should we show that it was filled in the spreadsheet?
A: Yes. You must still provide a description of all positions that were vacant for six months or more as of August 6, 2025, even if they were filled after that date. In Column S (Plans for Release or Elimination) on Tab 1a, Vacancy Data Details, note that the position was filled after August 6 and include the employee’s official start date.
