#LookAtOakland! The Office of the City Auditor is thrilled to announce the release of our Semiannual Audit Recommendation Follow-Up (ARFU) Report covering all outstanding audit recommendations as of June 30, 2025. This report shows the City's commitment to implementing our audit recommendations.
What is the ARFU Report?
For those of you who’ve just connected with us, the Audit Recommendation Follow-Up (ARFU) process is our semiannual update on the City’s progress toward implementing recommendations from past audits. This process is crucial because it verifies that the recommendations have been implemented and genuinely mitigate identified risks and lead to lasting improvement.
The report serves as your definitive scorecard on the status of open recommendations, focusing on:
-
Verified Implementation: Our bar for successful implementation is: "If we audited today, would we have the same findings?"
-
Celebrating Success: We track and highlight the progress that has led to the City’s 60 percent implementation rate.
-
Continuous Accountability: We continue to track remaining recommendations to drive further improvement.
The #ARFU report provides a comprehensive look at the status of open recommendations, by department and by audit. The most exciting highlight we have to share is that a 60 percent implementation rate shows real progress toward improving the efficiency and effectiveness of City services, safeguarding City resources, promoting compliance with contracts and laws, and making City services more transparent, accountable, and equitable. This is a huge win for accountability and effective government!
We encourage all Oaklanders to review the full report on our website and see firsthand the strides the City is making in government efficiency and accountability!
