Audit Committee

The Audit Committee is an important governance body for the independent function of the Office of the City Auditor. Audit Committee responsibilities include reviewing City Auditor reports and updates, approving the annual audit plan, selecting the City’s external financial statement auditors for General Government and the City’s utility, and reviewing external auditor reports, including the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR).

The Audit Committee is comprised of three members - Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, and an appointed external subject matter expert. The committee meets on an as-needed basis, but not less than once every quarter. Committee recommendations are placed on the City Commission agenda for review and approval.
