The Office of the City Auditor seeks to assist City Council and citizens in ensuring that our local government is accountable, transparent, and cost-effective.
To achieve our mission, we provide professional audit and related services including inquiries, investigations, and management advisory.
Basic services include:
Assessing the reliability and integrity of financial and operating information and the means used to identify, measure, classify, and report such information
Evaluating the systems established to ensure compliance with those policies, plans, procedures, laws, and regulations which could have a significant impact on the City of Norfolk
Reviewing the means of safeguarding assets and, as appropriate, verifying the existence of such assets
Appraising the economy and efficiency with which resources are applied
Examining operations or programs to determine if results are consistent with established goals and whether the objectives are being carried out as planned
Conducting investigations and inquires of abuse, fraud, and waste
We also provide reports and briefings to the Mayor and the entire City Council.
