Council Auditor

The Council Auditor provides the City Council and Jacksonville’s citizens with financial information regarding the city and its independent agencies. This 18-person department is charged with conducting a continuous internal audit of the fiscal operations of the consolidated government and all commissions, entities, and independent agencies. The Council Auditor’s Office manages and assists in the City’s annual independent audit engagement.

Staff members review legislation for the City Council and attend Committee and Council meetings where the legislation is discussed. Numerous special reports of financial analysis and information pertaining to the operations of the City or any of its independent agencies are performed when requested by the Council. The office reviews the City and independent agency proposed budgets for the Council Finance Committee, noting problem areas, recommending changes, and identifying program changes from year to year. A consolidated financial report is prepared concerning the fiscal condition of the City and each independent agency as of the close of each quarter.
