There’s new leadership at the Office of Legislative Audits.

Gregory Hook, a 43-year veteran of the office who served as legislative auditor since 2018, retired Monday. Replacing him is Brian Tanen.

Tanen was named legislative officer Monday by Department of Legislative Services Executive Director Victoria Gruber. He joined the office in 1996 — recruited by Tanen, according to an internal email announcing the appointment obtained by Maryland Matters.

The Office of Legislative Audits is part of the Department of Legislative Services and conducts fiscal and compliance audits of state agencies and programs. The agency reports to the legislature’s Joint Audit and Evaluation Committee.

Before his appointment, Tanen was the director of the Compliance and Performance Audit Division of the Office of Legislative Audits.

Outside the agency, Tanen also works as a volunteer paramedic in Baltimore, according to the email.
