City Audits

The elected City Auditor independently assesses City funded programs, services, and operations.

The City Auditor's office evaluates the City's compliance with local laws and regulations, whether objectives are achieved, and whether services are provided efficiently, effectively, and equitably. 

The City of Berkeley Auditor’s office is divided into two divisions, performance audit and payroll audit. The performance audit division focuses on assessing City activities and making recommendations to the City Council and City Manager on how to improve program performance. 

The payroll audit division examines and monitors the City payroll system. Independent review of the City payroll system helps prevent fraud, incorrect payments, and management override of controls.
