About the Company

DCAS's mission is to make city government work for all New Yorkers. From managing New York City’s most iconic courthouses and municipal buildings, to purchasing over $1 billion annually in goods and services for more than 80 City agencies what we do ensures that all agencies can deliver on their mission. Our reach touches every facet of city government and is instrumental to the successful day-to-day operations of the City of New York.
Our commitment to equity, effectiveness, and sustainability guides our work providing City agencies with the critical resources and support needed to succeed, including: Recruiting, hiring, and training City employees. Managing 56 public buildings. Acquiring, selling, and leasing City property. Purchasing over $1 billion in goods and services for City agencies. Overseeing the greenest municipal vehicle fleet in the country. Leading the City's efforts to reduce carbon emissions from government operations.
DCAS’s Audit & Compliance Services (ACS) consists of the following units: Engineering Audit. Vendor Contract Audit. Internal Audit. Non-Public Schools Audit Program; and External Audit Coordination.
The Internal Audit team and function is an integral part of DCAS by advising management in satisfying the agency’s overall responsibility for successfully achieving its assigned mission and assuring full accountability for resources. Internal audits are conducted in accordance with the Professional Standards established by the International Association of Internal Auditors (IIA) and with the Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards (GAGAS) as mandated in the NYC Comptroller’s directives.
The Internal Audit team assist the agency by identifying ways to safeguard assets, avoid waste and inefficiency, and promote sound business practices consistent with adopted policies and procedures.
In addition, DCAS has undergone several external audits related to Procurement of goods and services contracts and monitor, which are potentially are high risk in nature to the agency, as well as on a citywide level. The number of these external audits have increased significantly and without an internal audit function, the agency would not be able to mitigate risk associated with costs to address fiscal discrepancies and revenue generating opportunities, which places DCAS at a high risk.
For an agency of this proportion, not being able to adequately replace or staff ACS’ Internal Audit & Risk Management Unit will greatly impact our ability to effectively conduct and perform the required ongoing audits to effectively and efficiently identify and address agencywide risk through DCAS’ fourteen (14) lines of service operations, invoice payments and approval process.
With regards to citywide procurement DCAS processed orders for goods and services worth over $1.5 billion for over 100 NYC agencies, departments, boards and authorities.
