As legislative auditor, Kyle posted an office sign "In God We Trust, All Others We Audit." His work uncovered [[embezzlement|embezzlers]], [[cronyism]], and political corruption. His office moved against the late Elections Commissioner Jerry Marston Fowler, who was, indicted and convicted of receiving kickbacks from voting-machine contractors. Kyle investigated several college presidents but stressed that he does not believe in dismissing academic heads solely because of problems with an audit, as such positions are multi-faceted in scope.<ref name=diverse>{{cite web|url=http://diverseeducation.com/article/705/state-auditor-kyle-doesn-t-enjoy-playing-the-bad-guy.html|author=Scott Dyer|title=State Auditor Kyle Doesn't Enjoy Playing the Bad Guy|date=July 6, 2000|publisher=diverseeducation.com|accessdate=November 23, 2009; no longer on-line.}}</ref> Kyle's work led to the conviction of nearly 250 public officials and government employees for the misappropriation of state funds.<ref name=campaigns>{{cite web|url=http://www.ourcampaigns.com/CandidateDetail.html?CandidateID=6420|title=Our Campaigns: Dan Kyle|publisher=ourcampaigns.com|accessdate=November 23, 2009}}</ref>

Prior to his auditor's position, Kyle, both a PhD and a [[Certified Public Accountant|C.P.A.]], taught governmental [[accounting]] and auditing from 1968 to 1989 at [[Louisiana State University]] in Baton Rouge.<ref name=campaigns/> In 2000, Kyle uncovered serious problems with an audit of the historically [[African-American]] Grambling State University in Grambling in Lincoln Parish west of [[Ruston, Louisiana|Ruston]]. A 1998 audit of the same institution uncovered no problems, but two years later, the auditor received inaccurate and incomplete information from the university administration. Grambling had four months of data missing, which rendered it impossible to conduct the required two-year audit.<ref name=diverse/>​
