County Auditor: Bill White
The County Auditor is an independent elected official responsible
for evaluating and reporting on all County operations. The mission of the
Auditor is to promote transparent, efficient, and effective government, first
acting as a vigilant watchdog to uncover waste, fraud, and misuse of resources but
also evaluating the effectiveness of County systems and processes.
As provided by Illinois State law, the Auditor is responsible for maintaining
a continuous internal audit of the operations and finances of all officers,
divisions, and departments under the jurisdiction of the DuPage County Board
and the eight County-wide Elected Officials. However, certain entities such the
DuPage Airport Authority, DuPage Forest Preserve, DuPage Health Department,
DuPage Housing Authority, and DuPage Water Commission are independently
governed and are outside the jurisdiction of the Auditor. Questions or concerns
regarding outside entities should be directed to those governing these other
entities.
In addition to information gathered through the regular operations
of the Auditor’s Office, the County Auditor’s Audit
Hotline allows individuals to report issues or concerns regarding any
agency, division, or department under the jurisdiction of the Auditor. Upon
receipt of information indicating waste, fraud and/or misuse of resources
related to County operations and programs, additional investigation and audit
procedures will be conducted regarding such concerns. If appropriate, referral
can be made to the State's Attorney for further investigation.
Increased transparency is a key objective for County Auditor White. Transparency measures established by his predecessors will be continued, including
the County Auditor’s Audit Hotline, the County’s Online Checkbook, and
resources available through the Transparency Portal. Enhancement of the
Transparency Portal will be a key objective for Auditor White.
