Civic Accountability Institution
Public records. Plain English. Challengeable findings.
The Citizen Audit is a nonpartisan research institution built to help ordinary citizens inspect government records, understand what the evidence actually shows, and separate documented findings from political noise.
The site is no longer organized around one audit. It is the permanent home for multiple audits, source trails, articles, corrections, unknowns, and public governing standards.
What This Is
The Citizen Audit is an institution, not a single report.
Governed before trusted.
The project now has a Public Charter, Constitution, Oath, Citizen Standard, correction route, challenge route, and Unknowns Register. The institution binds itself to public rules before asking readers to trust its work.
Pro-citizen, not pro-party.
The project does not exist to defend government or attack government. It exists to make public records readable, testable, and harder to hide behind slogans.
Every audit stands on its own.
Each audit gets its own claims, sources, decision log, open questions, corrections, and downloads. The main site remains neutral until a reader chooses a specific audit.
Choose Your Path
Different readers need different doors.
I am new here
Plain-English orientation: what the site does, how audits work, and how to read findings without needing specialist training.
I want the rules
Read the Charter, Constitution, Oath, Citizen Standard, correction systems, and funding independence standard.
I want the audits
Browse completed, in-progress, and planned audits without making the whole website about one investigation.
I want readable results
Read research articles that explain what individual investigations found, what they did not prove, and why it matters.
I want the gaps
Inspect limitations, unresolved questions, pending verification, unavailable records, and known evidence gaps.
I disagree with something
Use the public challenge process to identify a claim, source, correction basis, and proposed fix.
Operating Rule
Evidence is public. Uncertainty stays visible. Corrections are part of the system.
A reliable audit does not pretend every gap is solved. When the record runs out, the site says so. When a claim is wrong, the correction trail should show what changed and why.
