John C. Geragosian
State Auditor
John C. Geragosian has served as one of the State of Connecticut’s two state auditors since January of 2011. He also serves as president of the National Association of State Auditors, Comptrollers, and Treasurers.
During his tenure, the Auditors of Public Accounts (APA) converted to a paperless auditing system and developed a comprehensive intranet platform to assist and inform APA employees. Geragosian changed the office’s peer review to the comprehensive National Association of State Auditors, Comptrollers, and Treasurers (NASACT) program. He worked to create and expand the office’s Performance Audit Unit. He also continues to enhance the office’s use of technology to conduct audits and oversight of state information technology systems.
Geragosian partnered with Connecticut’s other state auditors (Robert Ward, Robert Kane, Clark Chapin, and Craig Miner) to increase the office’s interaction with the Connecticut General Assembly to assist legislators as they enact public policy. In 2018, the legislature passed a law based on three audits that changed the system of special education contracting, oversight, and payments to private providers that contract with municipalities and the state. In 2020, the office released an audit of the Department of Social Services (DSS) and its non-emergency transportation vendor (Veyo). The audit report contained 59 recommendations to improve the program and ensure the state received its contracted services. As a result of the audit, DSS and Veyo renegotiated their agreement and changed policies and procedures to address nearly all the audit’s recommendations.
In August of 2026, the NASACT membership elected Geragosian NASACT president. He served as first vice president in 2025 and second vice president in 2024. He also received the NASACT President’s Award at the 2023 NASACT Annual Conference. The award recognized Geragosian for his efforts as National State Auditors Association (NSAA) president and his role in the association’s efforts to improve cooperation with federal agencies and officials as state auditors took on additional work overseeing pandemic and other federal funds.
Geragosian was NSAA president from June of 2022 until June of 2023. As president, he was one of the state auditor representatives on the NASACT Executive Committee, chairing the NASACT Constitution & Bylaws Committee.
From 2022 to 2025, Geragosian served as a member of the U.S. Comptroller General’s Domestic Working Group (DWG). Formed in 2001, DWG is an 18-member panel that brings together federal inspectors general and state and local audit officials to discuss topics of mutual interest, address common concerns, promote collaborative efforts, and provide advice to the Comptroller General of the United States.
Prior to his appointment as state auditor, John was elected to the Connecticut House of Representatives for 16 years where he served as co-chair of the Appropriations Committee in 2009 and 2010.
Prior to serving in the legislature, Geragosian was elected to two terms as Alderman in the City of New Britain.
He is a graduate of the University of Connecticut with a degree in Political Science.
Geragosian is a lifelong resident of New Britain, where he lives with his wife Audrey. He has a daughter Molly.
