San Antonio's Audit and Accountability Committee has reaffirmed its commitment to financial integrity following a recent meeting on May 13, 2025. The committee discussed the results of an independent audit, which revealed no findings for the seventh consecutive year, a remarkable achievement for a city of San Antonio's size and complexity.
Councilman White emphasized the importance of transparency and accountability, noting that the audit process allows for external scrutiny of the city's financial practices. He praised the efforts of the audit team, led by Ben and Troy, highlighting their dedication to addressing issues and ensuring proper use of city funds.
The committee acknowledged the exceptional performance of the finance team, which includes members Melanie, Victoria, Kimberly, Elizabeth, and Jay. Their leadership has contributed to the city's strong audit results, reflecting a culture of continuous improvement within the organization.
In addition to the positive audit findings, the committee discussed upcoming audits scheduled for June, which will assess the office's compliance with governmental standards for fiscal years 2022 through 2024. This proactive approach to auditing underscores the city's commitment to maintaining high standards of financial management.
The meeting concluded with a consensus on the importance of ongoing audits and the need for continued vigilance in financial oversight. The next meeting is set for June 10, 2025, where further discussions on audit findings and accountability measures will take place.
