The Office of Internal Audit is an independent, objective assurance and consulting activity designed to add value and improve the City’s operations. The Office of Internal Audit helps the City accomplish its objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control, and the governance processes.

The Office of Internal Audit reviews the reliability and integrity of information, compliance with policies and regulations, the safeguarding of assets, the economical and efficient use of resources, and established operational goals and objectives. Internal audits encompass financial activities, operational activities and contracts with outside vendors.

The Internal Audit Ordinance established the Office of Internal Audit as an independent department reporting to an Audit Committee compromised of five representatives from the community at large.
