Welcome to The City Auditor's Office

The Auditor's Office provides independent oversight of City operations; its mission is to be a catalyst for improving City government. Our audits, conducted in accordance with Government Audit Standards, provide the City Manager, City Council, and the public with objective, timely, and accurate information about City program performance.  By providing this information and making recommendations for improvement, we help to hold government accountable in its stewardship of public resources. 

Performance Audit Division

Our audits provide an independent assessment as to whether City funded services and operations:

• Are managed properly and in compliance with laws and regulations.

• Achieve their objectives and desired outcomes.

• Are being provided efficiently, economically and effectively.

We also perform revenue audits and provide consulting services as well as fraud prevention and detection services and training. 

Payroll Audit Division

Payroll Audit provides independent review of payroll information provided by management in the departments, and seeks to continuously improve the effectiveness, efficiency, and integrity of citywide payroll delivery.

Reporting

The City Auditor reports the results of audits and other investigations and reviews to Council, the City Manager, and Berkeley residents. The City Charter’s provision for an elected auditor affords the City Auditor the necessary independence from the City Manager and the City Council required by Government Audit Standards.

Ann-Marie Hogan was elected Auditor of the City of Berkeley in December 1994.
