AUDITING CITY DEPARTMENTS AND PROGRAMS

With City of San Jose (City) and Redevelopment Agency operating and capital budgets of over $1 billion a year, the members of the San Jose City Council need an effective means to monitor the use of tax dollars and City and Redevelopment Agency activities and programs. As an independent audit function, the Office of the City Auditor plays an integral role in the oversight process. Findings and recommendations developed through the audit process have helped save tax dollars, increase revenue, and improve the management of City and Redevelopment Agency programs. Additionally, our independent reviews have served as an important, objective information source for the City Council, City management, the Redevelopment Agency, and the general public.
