The Office of the City Auditor (OCA) seeks to assist City Council and citizens in ensuring that our local government is accountable, transparent, and cost-effective. To achieve our mission, we provide audit and integrity services. We also provide regular reports and briefings to the City Council through the Audit and Finance Committee, composed of the Mayor Pro Tem and four City Council Members. Kenneth J. Mory is the City Auditor for the City of Austin. He was appointed as the City Auditor by the City Council in October 2009. Prior to this appointment, Kenneth served as Chief of Audits for the County of San Diego, California.

Our audits cover the full range of local government performance issues, to evaluate how well the City:

• Accomplishes goals;
• Provides quality customer service;
• Operates effectively, efficiently and economically;
• Reports on the accuracy of financial and performance information;
• Safeguards assets from loss, damage, or inappropriate use;
• Complies with laws, regulations, policy, and grant and/or contract terms;
• Develops and maintains competence and integrity of staff; and
• Ensures equity internally and in service delivery.

To achieve our work, we have a staff with diverse expertise.
