Taxpaying individuals, citizens, and public officials alike are concerned about how effectively their government uses its resources. Taxpayers and citizens of McAllen want quality services that are cost effective. Public officials of McAllen want assurance that the programs they create are administered effectively, efficiently, and economically. The City Auditor is fundamental in achieving the proper conduct of government functions and administration of available resources through the implementation of well-balanced Internal Controls. Internal Controls are all actions taken to make the entity run effectively to achieve its goals.

Our audits evaluate if the City:

• Operates economically, efficiently, and effectively

• Complies with applicable laws, regulations, established policies, plans, and procedures
• Manages and maintains the accounting and statistical data
• Implements controls and promotes their effectiveness at a reasonable cost

The City Auditor's Office provides regular reports and updates to the City Audit Committee. The City Audit Committee is appointed by the City Commission and Public Utility Board and is composed of two City Commissioners and one Public Utility Board Member.
