ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT:

The City’s Auditing Division promotes an honest, effective, and fully accountable City government. It strives to provide independent, timely oversight of the City’s finances and operations to ensure that City programs are implemented legally, efficiently, and effectively. The Division functions as a safeguard against potential fraud or misuse of City resources. Auditing contributes to deadline-driven documents such as the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report, Schedule A, and the Per-Pupil Report, which play a crucial role in providing financial and other information to the City Council, City Manager, the investment community, the state and federal governments, and the residents of Cambridge. The Auditing Division uses electronic processing of accounts payable payments and journal entries in order to reduce paper usage and create an efficient method for tracking information electronically.
