[0:00] Have you ever wondered
[0:01] how the City of Minneapolis
[0:02] keeps itself accountable?
[0:03] That's where the City Auditor comes in.
[0:05] The office of City Auditor
[0:07] is an independent body
[0:08] that strengthens the public
[0:10] trust by delivering
[0:11] objective, risk-informed oversight.
[0:13] We don't work for the City Council,
[0:16] the Mayor, or the departments we
[0:17] audit—in fact,
[0:19] our job is to hold them accountable
[0:21] to you—because we work for you,
[0:23] the people who live, work,
[0:25] and play in Minneapolis.
[0:27] The City Auditor
[0:28] safeguards public
[0:29] resources by identifying risks,
[0:32] promoting accountability,
[0:34] ensuring compliance,
[0:35] and supporting a transparent
[0:37] City government.
[0:38] To ensure our findings are thorough,
[0:40] ethical, credible and reliable,
[0:43] we ground ourselves in the highest
[0:45] auditing standards,
[0:46] free from all political pressures.
[0:49] We're here to make sure
[0:50] the government works for you.
[0:52] That's our promise.
