Executive Summary

In accordance with Section 12 of Chapter 11 of the Massachusetts General Laws, the Office of the State Auditor has conducted a performance audit of certain activities of the Appellate Tax Board (ATB) for the period July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024.

The purpose of our audit was to determine whether ATB’s website adhered to the World Wide Web Consortium’s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 for user accessibility, keyboard accessibility, navigation accessibility, language accessibility, error identification, and color accessibility. Adherence to WCAG helps ensure that all users, regardless of ability, can access the content and functions of ATB’s website.

Our audit revealed no significant instances of noncompliance by ATB that must be reported under generally accepted government auditing standards.
