CONNECT with the CityReports
The Office of the City Auditor conducts performance audits of City departments, offices, and agencies in accordance with government auditing standards. Some audit reports recommend ways to reduce costs or increase revenues, while other reports identify opportunities to increase effectiveness, use resources more efficiently, or improve internal controls. The Office of the City Auditor also performs fraud investigations using procedures recommended by the Association of Fraud Examiners. Our investigations of Fraud Hotline complaints have identified waste and abuse of City resources and provide recommendations to correct and further prevent such occurrences.
