Reform 1.9: Revenue Audits
Expand Revenue Audits. Other Information:
Currently accounts receivables are managed by the City Treasurer with only limited auditing on revenues received. Councilmember
DeMaio has pushed a proposal to authorize the City Auditor to perform more robust and expansive audits on the city’s major
revenue sources to ensure the city government is receiving its fair share. Expanding revenue audits under the City Auditor’s
direction will achieve efficiencies in operations, and result in increased revenue collections from accounts through more
aggressive auditing techniques and an independent approach to reviewing receivables. While the City Treasurer will retain
custody of records on accounts receivables per the City Charter, the Auditor can be sub-contracted from the Treasurers’ Office
to perform this function. The Mayor and City Council should implement recommendations contained in October 2010 audit of the
Delinquent Accounts Program which suggested additional revenues could be achieved from expanded collection efforts and techniques
focused on past due receivables.
