The City Auditor's Office was established by the City Charter.
Today it consists of ten professional employees and a very busy
administrative services coordinator.
We are committed to providing professional, independent auditing services to
City agencies; in order to promote:
- Full financial accountability
- Efficiency and effectiveness of operations and programs
- Compliance with relevant laws and regulations
|
|
Under the guidance of the City's Audit Committee, the audit staff helps support management's internal
control structures. Thereby, the office assists the City Council and the City
Administration in achieving their goals and objectives.
We are dedicated not only to the City as a whole, but also to the professional
and personal development of our staff. Toward this end, we offer both a Career
Path to help guide professional growth and on-going educational opportunities.
