Denver’s 2027 audit plan puts homeless-shelter contracts, airport construction costs and voter-approved tax revenue on the oversight agenda. Auditor Timothy O’Brien released the plan October 19.
The plan calls for checking whether added taxes supporting Denver Health and Denver Public Library are collected accurately and spent appropriately. It also includes sidewalk services, rental licensing, outside legal counsel, airport trains, cybersecurity and voting systems.
Residents submitted 175 ideas during the office’s summer campaign. The plan is a list of intended work, not a set of findings against those programs. The auditor cautioned that some reviews might not start in 2027 because emerging risks and unexpected events can change the schedule.
