Significant decreases resulted from the transfer of the City of Fort Worth's annual single audit and Comprehensive Annual Financial Report from the City Auditor's Office to the Financial Management Services Department, postponement of participation in the peer review, and reducing the usage of scheduled temporaries. Over the last fifteen years, the City Auditor's Office did not experience major staffing fluctuations and has averaged 15 positions. Salary costs represent the majority of the budget. The significant budgetary changes over the last decade were associated with the addition and subsequent removal of the costs associated with the single audit and Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, which moved to Financial Management Services Department in FY2015. The department will continue to leverage technology to assess citywide risks and conduct audits to help ensure proper financial management of the City of Fort Worth.
