MenuCity Auditor
The City Auditor’s Office mission is to promote honest, efficient, effective and fully accountable city government through accurate, independent and objective audits. We are an independent office that reports to the City Council through the Audit Committee. We conduct performance audits and reviews of City departments, programs and services. We also make recommendations to strengthen accountability, improve efficiencies and effectiveness of City programs, as well as business processes. The audits may assess internal controls over financial reporting and evaluate the adequacy of system of internal controls, and ensure compliance with applicable laws, rules, regulations, and City policies and procedures.
We provide oversight of external auditors regarding the City’s annual financial audit, single audit, annual compliance review with the City’s Investment Policy, performance audits and related financial audits. Furthermore, the City Auditor’s Office is responsible for the Stadium Authority’s annual financial audit.
