  • Create and maintain an environment of sound fiscal management and efficient financial operations at all levels of county government, through aggressive ancillary support, increased interactive collaboration and communication to assure efficient collection and reporting of revenues and legal compliance with budget expenditures.
  • Goals
  •  
  • The County Auditor has established strategic goals:
  • - To promote and maintain responsible fiscal policies and financial stewardship for the county as a whole;
  • - To assure reliability of financial data, safeguard county assets and preserve the county's financial resources;
  • - To strive for high quality and user friendly management information systems for internal and external users, and
  • - To ensure effective and efficient administration of financial functions, which support the county auditor's office, elected officials, departments, and county government as a whole.
  • Financial Transparency
  •  
  • El Paso County is committed to providing transparency on financial information to the public. By doing so, it affords the public the opportunity to view and question how their taxpayer dollars are being spent. The auditor's office provides the following:
  • - Budget: The budget serves as the financial plan for the county as it provides information on spending and revenue.
  • - Financial Reports: The financial report demonstrates how well the county is managing the proposed budget and financial plan.
  • - Check Register: The check register is a listing of expenses displaying the date, amount, and to whom payment was made.
  • - Utility Costs: The utility costs and consumption are shown for electricity, water, and gas used by the county.
  • By displaying the county spending and providing access to those numbers we ensure greater accountability to the public.
