Beach City Charter §804 establishes the City
Auditor’s authority regarding the disbursement of
City funds. The City Auditor must sign each check
that the City issues, including vendor payments,
workers’ compensation claims, and employee payroll.
Additionally, the Office of the City Auditor is
responsible for the final approval of the City’s
wire transfers.
Each disbursement is reviewed to ensure payments are
appropriate, timely, authorized, and documented. If
there is an issue with a requested disbursement,
payment is withheld until the issue is resolved. No
checks or wire transfers may leave the City without
the express authorization of the Office of the City
Auditor.
