Courtney Ruby

Dear Oaklanders,

I'm proud to be your elected City Auditor, working for and reporting to the citizens of this City. I am committed to ensuring transparency, accountability and integrity in the service of Oakland taxpayers.

As the citizen's watchdog, my job is to shine a light on what's working - and what's not - by asking straightforward questions about your city government's performance.

I'm here to be your eyes and ears inside City Hall. But I also need to hear from you. Please use this website to communicate with our office, share your concerns and tell us what you think. Together we can make Oakland the best it can be.

Sincerely,

Courtney A. Ruby,  CPA
