The City Auditor provides independent and objective audit, investigative, and advisory information and recommendations to City Council, and City management, in an effort to improve the City's operations and services provided to the public.
The City Auditor is appointed by, and reports to, the City Council. Among other responsibilities outlined in our Internal Audit Charter, the City Auditor evaluates management procedures to ensure the efficiency and effectiveness of operations, the safeguarding of resources, and the integrity of financial and management records and reports.

Fraud Hotline
The City has also chosen to establish a practical mechanism (i.e. a fraud hotline) to permit the confidential, anonymous reporting of concerns about fraud or wrongful behavior in the workplace. We know that sometimes employees may be uncomfortable reporting suspected fraudulent activities to supervisors or managers that they report to or work with on a regular basis. To encourage the reporting of improper activities and to provide greater assurance of confidentiality, the City hired an outside company to receive anonymous fraud complaints from employees and vendors. Employees are encouraged to call Eide Bailly, a regional Certified Public Accounting firm, at 866-912-5378 or email at www.eidebailly.com/hotline to report improper activities, or you may still report them to the Office of the City Auditor at 405-366-5393.
