History

The City of Arlington established its internal audit function in 1972 by creating an Internal Auditor position within the Finance Department.

In 1977, Internal Audit became a division of the Management Services Department. From 1977 through 2005, Internal Audit continued to be a division of various departments that reported to the City Manager.

In May 2005, Arlington citizens approved the City Auditor as an officer appointed by a majority of the members of the City Council. This action marked the beginning of an independent internal audit function.
