Municipal auditing department
Special position within the administration
As a large municipality belonging to a district, the city of Bocholt is obliged to set up a local audit (Section 101 of the NRW municipal code).
The local audit is carried out by the City of Bocholt's auditing department.
The auditing department occupies a special position in the administrative structure. It reports to the City Council and is solely responsible to it. In the fulfilment of its auditing tasks, the department is independent and free from instructions and is only subject to the law. It can therefore act largely independently within the administration.
The auditing activities cover the entire range of tasks of the city administration of Bocholt, including its own business-like facilities (e.g. waste disposal and service company of the city of Bocholt) and other facilities (e.g. adult education centre). In addition to auditing administrative activities, the provision of advice to specialist departments and administrative management as well as the accompanying auditing of processes is becoming increasingly important.
