                                        Audits of City Departments and Programs
           Priority Outcome: Make Los Angeles the best run big city in America
           This program conducts risk-based audits in accordance with Government Auditing Standards to meet the
           Charter requirement for an established audit cycle to ensure that the performance, programs, and activities of
           every department are audited on a regular basis and that City resources and funds are adequately
           safeguarded. These audits provide an independent assessment of existing controls and determine if
           departments are operating efficiently and effectively and are producing the desired outcomes, as established
           by City leaders. They ensure that financial and operational activities are accurately reported and conform with
           applicable laws and regulations, and promote the effective use of City resources. Audits recommend
           improvements to operations that save taxpayer dollars and increase program outcomes, and hold department
           management accountable for effecting positive change.
