About the Auditor

The Audit Services Division produces independent financial and performance audits and other types of assessments of county agencies, programs, finances, technology, and contracts. The resulting recommendations from our work helps strengthen governance, improve performance, enhance efficiency, increase revenues, reduce costs and risks, and improve the quality of services for Salt Lake County. All audits must comply with the Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards that the U.S. Government Accountability Office developed (Yellow Book).

The County Auditor receives authority to perform statutory duties from Utah State Statute 17-19a.
