Reform 1.11: Performance Audits

Complete Performance Audits on 50% of City Budget Expenditures by FY 2013.

Other Information:

Performance Audits examine how well each city department is operating, and suggest ideas for improvement. The City Auditor has provided decision-makers with detailed performance audits of the operations of a variety of city functions – including Risk Management, Qualcomm Stadium, Bid-to-Goal and the Center City Development Corporation. As a result, officials are better informed about inefficiencies and areas where additional controls are needed. In the FY 2010 Councilmember DeMaio successfully advanced a proposal to expand the capacity of the City Auditor’s Office to conduct performance audits of city departments – and to establish a goal of conducting performance audits on at least 50% of city budgeted expenditures in the next three years. As those performance audits are conducted, the Mayor and City Council should commit to implementing cost-saving ideas as fast as possible.
