Long
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.
The City Auditor's
Guide to Payments
The City Auditor's Office publishes a "Guide to
Payments" to assist City employees in understanding
the purchase and expense reimbursement policies of
the City of Long Beach.

to download the Guide.
The updated 2008 version continues the Office's
general approach to City payments. An example of a
recent change is that now reimbursement for a
limited amount of checked baggage fees on City
travel is appropriate, as these fees have become
standard on most airlines.
Please call the City Auditor's Office at (562)
570-6751 with any questions regarding the new Guide.
