Internal auditing is the cornerstone of public sector governance by providing independent and objective services to help the City achieve intended results, accountability and integrity, improve operations, and instill confidence among neighbors and stakeholders. 

The City of Gainesville Audit Committee reviews and discusses audit reports, risk assessment activities and the audit plan, and provides oversight of internal audit activities that include:

•         Audit Engagements – operational, financial, information technology, compliance and other types of audit engagements that evaluate current and emerging key risks, and design and effectiveness of controls, to mitigate those risks.

•         Audit Issue Follow up – management’s timely audit issue remediation and internal audit’s validation to ensure management action plans are implemented and sustainable.

•         Consultations – advisory services that may include independent and objective evaluation of risks and models, evaluation of system pre-implementation risks, and championing the establishment of enterprise risk management.

•         Other Advisory Services – audit and non-audit management special requests that require minimal hours.

•         Investigations – management of the City's anonymous fraud hotline and related investigations.

The Audit Committee meets on an as needed basis but not less than once every quarter, and consists of 3 members: Mayor; Mayor pro tem; member appointed by the City Commission to serve in an advisory capacity.  Recommendations of the committee are placed on the City Commission agenda for review and approval.

Staff support for the Audit Committee is under the direction of the City Auditor.
Applicants are encouraged to submit a resume and any additional information relevant to their application.
