Internal Audit

Mission - To provide an independent appraisal function within the City and to assist members of the management team, as well as those charged with governance, in the effective discharge of their responsibilities by furnishing them appraisals, recommendations and pertinent, relevant information concerning the activities and/or areas under review.

Independence - The Office of Internal Audit operates under the supervision of the City Auditor, and is governed by the City Charter (Article 4), as amended August 2, 2012 by public referendum.  An independently appointed Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment and termination of the City Auditor, thus providing the independence necessary for objectivity in compliance with Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards (GAGAS).
