Purpose

The Internal Audit function provides the City of Reno with a full-time, independent appraisal function designed to assist the Reno City Council, constituents, and City management in establishing accountability, transparency, and a culture of continuous improvement in City operations. To achieve this mission, we conduct performance audits and complete special projects.

Independence & Objectivity

Inherent to the profession, Internal Auditors are required to be independent and objective. While remaining free of any influences, we are able to provide objective and credible information to constituents, City Management, and the Reno City Council. Internal Audit reports administratively to the City Manager and functionally to both the City Council and the Financial Advisory Board.
