Division of Inspector General
Established by charter of the Clerk & Comptroller in 2005 and formerly called the Audit Services Division, the Division of Inspector General (IG) provides independent and objective auditing and investigative services. The division is designed to add value to Clerk operations and preserve the public's trust. Led by an Inspector General/Audit Director appointed by the Clerk, the division strives to educate citizens and policy makers regarding the operation of government, while assisting in the administration of the Clerk's constitutional duties.
In February 2011, our office was named an Accredited Office of Inspector General by the Commission for Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation. Out of more than 50 Inspector General offices across Florida, the Clerk & Comptroller is one of only 10 to receive accreditation and the first in Palm Beach County.
Having an IG accredited team within the Clerk’s office supporting the Clerk’s constitutional role as financial auditor for Palm Beach County government provides another layer of protection for the public—ensuring your tax dollars and all county revenues are protected.
The Division of Inspector General is comprised of two operational units, the Audit Services Unit and the Public Integrity Unit.
