Department of Water Management Overtime Monitoring Audit

Report Details

Submitting OIG: 
City of Chicago Office of Inspector General
Report Description: 
The City of Chicago Office of Inspector General (OIG) has completed an audit of the Department of Water Management’s overtime monitoring. The objective of the audit was to determine if DWM effectively monitored overtime to prevent waste and abuse. Based on the audit results, OIG concluded that DWM developed policies and tools to manage overtime but did not utilize these resources consistently. The Department’s management personnel, at both the central and bureau level, were unaware of the full range of DWM’s overtime processes. Moreover, managers had not exercised robust oversight of overtime distribution and had not consistently maintained overtime records.
