In 1980, the Board of Supervisors established a management audit function to perform detailed audits and analyses of County operations, review the annual County budget, analyze major financial issues, and conduct other special studies or projects. The Board currently contracts with a private firm for these management audit services. The Management Auditor is independent from County administration, as well as all departments and programs, and reports directly to the Board.

Current and prior year audit reports, special studies and budget reports dating back to 2003 can be downloaded from the Report Portal below. A special study of Santa Clara County property owned and leased by the General Fund and Roads and Airports Departments was adopted in June 2020. The study, including maps and other sortable data, can be found at this interactive dashboard. For other reports, reach out to the Clerk of the Board’s Records Division.
