Internal Audit

MISSION STATEMENT

Internal Audit provides independent, objective assurance in order to add value and improve all City operations. Internal Audit achieves its mission by providing key information to stakeholders and the public to maintain accountability; to help improve program performance and operations; to reduce costs; to facilitate decision making; to stimulate improvements; and to identify current and projected issues that may affect government programs and the people those programs serve.

DIVERSITY STATEMENT

The Internal Audit Division is committed to fostering and cultivating a diverse and inclusive environment for all team members.  Our goal is to create a collaborative and safe workspace that represent the diversities in our community such as race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, disabilities, education, and socio-economic backgrounds. The Internal Audit Division best serves the City of Milwaukee when the team members are a true reflection of the City’s community and can contribute their perspectives to serve the residents.
