Report Fraud, Waste and Abuse

Overview

The Office of the City Comptroller provides anyone the ability to report suspected fraud, waste, abuse or misuse of taxpayer funds and City resources. In response to tip line information received, the internal audit team reviews the submission and collaborates with other City departments to respond to the tip.  The internal audit team may conduct an audit of the entity, process or operation impacted.
