Audit Office
Budget and annual audit for the city administration
The Audit Office - the RPA - has a special position in the structure of the divisions, units and staff departments of the city administration.
It reports directly to the Council and is accountable only to the Council. Therefore, its auditors are appointed and dismissed by the Council.
Administrative action should be viewed independently
The independence of the audit office in the factual assessment of audit procedures is guaranteed by law and is therefore not subject to any right of instruction by the administration. This ensures that administrative action is viewed independently. The tasks and powers are laid down in the Lower Saxony Municipal Constitution Act (NKomVG) and in the municipal audit regulations.
Prevention instead of reaction
One activity that has become increasingly important in recent years is to provide constructive support and advice to the administration in the run-up to decisions in order to help it cope with its tasks. As a partner of the administration, the goal is to identify discrepancies in advance and prevent errors from occurring in the first place.
