Can the EEPC audit non-Mayoral agencies, including elected officials?
Yes. The New York City Charter clearly gives the EEPC authority to audit and monitor the Equal Employment Opportunity Programs of all City agencies. The Charter defines “city agency” as a city, county, or borough government entity that is funded by the City or has a majority of its board members appointed by the mayor. Based on this definition, the EEPC has authority to audit mayoral agencies, non-mayoral agencies, and elected officials (e.g. the comptroller, borough presidents, district attorneys, etc.
