In this final part of the assignment I decided to review the role of the Auditor and Controller agency as, being my background in business administration and having a great passion for the Financial world, it would be the one that perfectly fits my knowledge and future career goals. Briefly, before getting to the point of the essay, I would like to spend few sentences explaining what is the Auditor and Controller agency. This agency is crucial for the city of San Diego as among its main duties there is the setting of the collection and administration of the main financial resources of the city in order to support the main services and projects which the County of San Diego implements.

I must admit that from this point of view Italy is really far behind from other countries (as I previously explained also from the difference in the websites information) and this is one of the reasons why our government scenario is really ineffective. I made some research on the internet and I compared our local website with that of San Diego: there is an abyss between them. The San Diego site and in particular the Auditor and Controller agency one, which I previously analysed, provide detailed
