DEPARTMENT PURPOSE AND GOALS

The city auditor is appointed by and serves at the discretion of the Fort Worth City Council. The City Auditor is
assigned the responsibility to direct financial, operational, compliance, and information technology audits for city
functions and activities; to undertake special projects; and to perform analyses and investigations as assigned by
the City Council and/or requested by the city manager.

The City Auditor’s Office assesses citywide risks and conducts audits to help ensure proper risk management and
good governance.

MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS

The City Auditor’s Office implemented automated work paper software, a best practice within the audit
profession. Internal audits continue to result in increased city revenue and reduced costs in an amount that is
comparable to the departmental budget.

FY2019 DISCUSSION

The FY2019 Adopted Budget includes a fully staffed department with no vacancies, as well as an increase in
expenses due to an increase in software licenses for the automated audit work paper system. Staffing increased
by 2 APs and 0.95 FTE due to the conversion of two temporary positions to regular. The positions include one
senior auditor and one auditor with limited hours. This action had no financial impact to the General Fund.

There are no other significant changes in service level represented in the FY2019 Adopted Budget.
