This page was translated from German using artificial intelligence. The translation may contain errors or inaccuracies. In case of doubt, the German original version prevails.
The Audit Office (Department 14) is part of the management staff.
Unlike the other departments of the district administration, the audit office has a special position assigned by the legislator. It is an organ of the district, as it is directly responsible to the district council and directly subordinate to it in its substantive activities.
Our Tasks
The district's audit office examines the other departments of the district administration to determine whether they have complied with the provisions of the municipal code when implementing the annual budget.
The audit office contributes to ensuring that the district administration acts lawfully and properly:
Information
- Our audits are conducted independently and without directives. The insights gained from these audits are communicated to the political decision-makers both within and outside the district administration. This creates transparency and provides a solid foundation for their decisions.
Consultation
- We support the other areas of the district administration as an advisory partner with professional expertise – especially during planning and decision-making phases. With this, we aim to contribute to achieving good solutions.
Prevention
- Learning from the past for the future! Our audits are not solely aimed at uncovering past mistakes. Rather, they aim to create added value for the audited area and contribute to avoiding similar mistakes in the future, making processes more efficient, utilizing available resources more economically, etc.
