Rob Sand is the 33rd Iowa Auditor of State, serving since 2019. Public controversies involving Sand consist of political friction and disputes over his official conduct rather than criminal charges or personal misconduct against him.
In November 2024, a Republican political consultant filed an election misconduct complaint alleging Sand violated Iowa law by handing out pizza to voters at a Polk County polling location. Regarding state audits, Sand has faced criticism from Republican officials concerning his office's response time to a $27.5 million court debt fund misallocation caused by coding errors. Sand maintained the issue was a technical programming error, not an audit matter, and noted his office lacked coding expertise. Additionally, the Iowa Ethics and Campaign Disclosure Board unanimously dismissed a 2020 complaint filed by Sand alleging Governor Kim Reynolds violated state self-promotion laws.
