External Audit System

Yokohama City introduced an external audit system (Article 252-27 of the Local Government Act) in April 1999. The external audit system is a system in which private experts are audited as auditors in order to strengthen audit functions. This includes comprehensive external audits and individual external audits.

Comprehensive external audit

For financial affairs of Yokohama City and those that Yokohama City provides financial assistance, an external auditor determines the audit theme and conducts audits.　Comprehensive external audit results page

Individual External Audits

In audits based on requests or requests, such as requests for residents' audits, an audit by an external auditor can be requested instead of audits by the Audit Committee members.
