Welcome!

The mission of the Office of the District of Columbia Auditor is to examine the accounts and operations of the District of Columbia government. The focus of our audits is economy, efficiency, and accountability.

We audit District agencies and programs to determine whether:

• Business processes are efficient;
• Policies and procedures are effective;
• Internal controls need to be improved; and
• Programs delivered the intended results.

Our goal is to prepare audit reports that improve the operations of District government, provide the Council of the District of Columbia with insight into agency operations, and save tax dollars by recommending program improvements that result in cost savings and increased revenue.

The residents of the District of Columbia are one of our primary constituents. To help residents understand how their tax money is being spent, we provide audit reports that are relevant, interesting, and readable. In addition to the information that we include in our audit reports, our website includes links to sites with information on District agency programs and operations.
