About this Audit
Focus of the Audit
Assess the effectiveness of the City’s data governance practices in ensuring data quality, security, and compliance, while protecting sensitive information and making non-sensitive data accessible to promote transparency and informed decision-making.

Why audit this topic?
Data Governance was identified as a risk in the Fiscal Year 2026 Annual Audit planning process based on input from interviews with city councilors and department heads, surveys of residents, and feedback from town hall meetings.
Share Your Input
We are seeking input from external stakeholders who regularly use or request data from the City of Tulsa— including journalists, nonprofit organizations, higher education institutions, community groups, and other partners.
Your responses will help the City Auditor’s Office understand how well the City’s data practices support transparency, accountability, and effective decision-making, and where there may be gaps or risks in how data is managed, shared, and governed.
