Matthew Boxer was the New Jersey State Comptroller.[1] Matthew Boxer was sworn in as New Jersey's first independent state comptroller on January 17, 2008 after the recreation of the office in 2007.[2] He served in this position until the end of his term in December 2013.
Boxer, 53, led a staff responsible for overseeing audits and performance reviews at all levels of New Jersey government. The office audits government finances, examines the efficiency of government programs and scrutinizes government contracts. "The mission of the office is clear,"' Boxer said after his swearing-in. '"The Comptroller's Office exists to bring greater efficiency and transparency to the operation of all levels of New Jersey's government: from our town halls and schools, to our state agencies and our independent state authorities. Simply put, this state cannot afford to have its governmental entities wasting money that comes from the hard work of the taxpayers of this state."[3]
