Every day, Denver residents experience city services, programs, and infrastructure in ways that help us better understand how local government is performing for its people. That’s why I have launched the public campaign #AuditDenver2027 to hear directly from my constituents about their concerns and observations regarding Denver’s government and how it is managing taxpayer dollars to serve the community.
Throughout June, I invite you to help inform our audit planning process. When we develop the list of potential audits for the upcoming year, we consider multiple sources, including evaluations of previous audit reports, risks identified in other cities, and current events. Community input is also an important factor in identifying potential issues and risks in local government that should be addressed in our audit work.
That is why I am asking: “What should we look into next?” I encourage residents to share concerns, ideas, and observations about city programs, services, infrastructure, and public spending that may deserve closer review. All suggestions will be reviewed by me and our audit team as part of the planning process for 2027.
Your voice matters: What should we look into next?
Last year, our #AuditDenver2026 campaign sparked community engagement around homelessness spending, city budgeting, parks, bikeways, and major city projects like 16th Street. Those topics were included in the 2026 Audit Plan in direct response to residents’ priorities and what they identified as important for a better Denver. It is proof that we respond to what is important to our community.
Your voice matters, and as we did last year, we will collect input from this campaign and review it alongside other factors used in audit planning.

This campaign brings auditing closer to the community so residents can feel that our audit process belongs to them as well. Residents can submit audit suggestions with their name or anonymously by emailing us at Auditor@DenverGov.org, commenting on the Auditor’s Office social media posts, or speaking with me and my staff at community events. I have attended hundreds of events during my administration, and I pay attention to the issues that people consistently raise with me.
I was elected to serve the people of Denver, and I know that community feedback has led us to make significant findings and recommendations around oversight, accountability, and the effective use of public resources. I want to hear from residents about what matters most to them. It helps make Denver an even better place to live and work.
