GAGAS: Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards. These are the rules printed in the <br />General Accountability Office's "Yellow Book" that describe how performance auditors should <br />perform their professional functions. <br />Independence: The ability to perform the professional functions of the auditing office without <br />interference from parties interested in the outcome of the audit. <br />The study group is soliciting public comment on our documents via our website, and we may <br />make appropriate modifications based on comments we receive between now and Wednesday, <br />November 15. We expect to summarize the comments at our presentation at the City Council <br />work session on November 20, 2017. <br />In conclusion, cities make a number of choices about size, scope, and accountability when <br />establishing a performance auditing function. We do not see that a single "right answer" exists <br />for every city, but rather that each city should consider the advantages and disadvantages of these <br />choices in light of its challenges. <br />Sincerely, <br />Marshall Wilde Norma Grier <br />Co-chair Co-chair <br />3 <br />
