Nearly one-third of city agencies surveyed by New York City’s corruption watchdog reported having no staff performing internal audit functions, while half lacked internal audit plans, according to a Department of Investigation (DOI) report that good-government advocates say points to serious financial, operational and fraud risks.
The 2025 Annual Anti-Corruption Report, released by the DOI last month, found uneven internal auditing capacity across city government during the final stretch of the Eric Adams administration.
