The Office of the City Auditor believes that it is important to not only do our job well, but also participate in, and contribute to, professional organizations, as well as community services. The following are examples of some of the things we do.

Participation in Professional Organizations
Staff from our office actively participate in several professional audit organizations, including the Association of Local Government Auditors (A.L.G.A.), the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA), the Government Accountability Office’s Intergovernmental Audit Forums, and the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners.

OCA staff actively support the auditing profession by chairing or serving on boards of directors and committees of professional organizations, including the Southwest Intergovernmental Audit Forum, the Austin Chapter of the National Association of Black Accountants, the Austin Chapter of the IIA, the Austin Chapter of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, the Austin Chapter of the American Society for Public Administration (ASPA), and the Urban and Regional Information Systems Association (URISA). In addition, OCA staff presented at conferences and trainings sponsored by the IIA, ASPA, the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE), the Association of Governmental Accountants (AGA), Texas State University, and the Texas State Auditor's Office.

Volunteer Activities
The Office of the City Auditor has continually been involved in a variety of activities that benefit our community. We have organized contributions to local charities, built backpacks for AISD students, and served as mentors for area school children. Our office also has one of the highest percentage participation rates in the annual City of Austin Combined Charities campaign.
