Pursuant to D.C. Code, Section 1-264(d), the District of Columbia Auditor is responsible for providing financial oversight of ANCs, auditing their financial accounts, and maintaining a database of financial information on each ANC for historical and expenditure trend analysis. The Auditor produces and submits to the Council of the District of Columbia a consolidated annual report of the financial activity of all ANCs. The Auditor may audit the financial accounts of an ANC at the discretion of the Auditor, upon the request of a member of the Council, or upon the request of a Commissioner of the ANC for which an audit is requested. All ANCs are required to submit quarterly financial reports documenting their financial activity to the Office of the District of Columbia Auditor on a form provided by the Auditor and by due dates established by the Auditor each calendar year.
The Auditor provides financial oversight and guidance to the ANCs to promote financial accountability, compliance with the ANC Law, and to ensure that internal controls are adequate to produce reliable financial information and to safeguard the ANCs’ assets. The ANCs are further guided in performing their responsibilities by guidelines and procedures established by the District of Columbia Auditor, and written opinions issued by the District’s Office of the Corporation Counsel which address common ANC concerns, frequently asked questions, and issues requiring legal review or clarification of the applicability of the Advisory Neighborhood Commissions Act of 1975.

DC OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
Click HERE to visit the DCOAG website.
Advisory Neighborhood Commissions (ANCs) statutes, issues, and legal documents are now available online to the public, Advisory Neighborhood Commissioners, District agency officials, and anyone with Internet access.
The documents, written by the Office of the Attorney General, provide guidance on many issues that ANCs have faced since the commissions were established. Commissioners now have easy access to important and recurring questions on the daily operations and governance of their ANCs. Agency officials also may use this research tool to obtain ANC input on matters such as zoning issues, traffic patterns, and street improvements. Anyone who wishes to contest the award of a grant or the notice for a meeting can access the standards for these events and determine whether a challenge may have merit.
