“Internal Auditing is an independent, objective assurance and consulting activity designed to add value and improve an organization’s operations. It helps an organization accomplish its objectives by bringing a systematic disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control, and governance processes” as defined by the Institute of Internal Auditors. The City Charter requires that the Audit Committee include two (2) Council Members, a CPA, and two (2) residents.
Responsibilities include:
City Council Members
Independent Certified Public Accountant (CPA)
Citizen Members
The City Charter (PDF) identifies an Audit Committee comprised of two Bremerton residents, an independent Certified Public Accountant (CPA), and two City Council members. The Bremerton Municipal Code allows the City Council to designate one additional member as an alternate, who serves in the absence of one or both of the appointed council members. The CPA is approved by the City Council. The Audit Committee selects a Chair and Vice Chair each year. The two citizen members are appointed by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee appoints the City Auditor. To learn more about the City Auditor, visit the City Auditor's page.
