Denver Auditor

In 2024, Denver enhanced its audit and wage accountability functions to better serve residents. We achieved significant results by issuing impactful audit recommendations, assisting more workers, and advocating for new legislation.

We are pleased that our investigation into wage theft at Denver strip clubs has encouraged other dancers to speak up publicly to news media like The Denver Post about what they’ve experienced. Their voices matter, and Denver Labor is here to help. We’ve spoken with nearly 100 strip club workers in the past two weeks about potential wage theft. If you or someone you know has experienced this problem, go to DenverGov.org/StripClubs to learn more about your rights and to contact us. Our investigations are just getting started. #wagetheft #DenverAuditor #DenverLabor

Why is our office logo a magnifying glass? We investigate city agencies and conduct independent audits to identify risks and enhance efficiency. We take a close look at how to reduce costs and improve service quality. We inspect carefully and meticulously. Some may believe that cutting through problems is the best way to eliminate waste and fraud. As professional auditors, we achieve the same goal by following strict methodologies. visit https://lnkd.in/gNT_bDkN to learn more.

Since we announced Diamond Cabaret and Rick’s Cabaret strip clubs owe more than nearly $14 million in stolen wages, damages, interest, and penalties, dozens of workers have contacted our office. They say they too have tips taken from them and wages lost. This is just the tip of the iceberg. We know more strip clubs workers are underpaid and we encourage them to come forward. If you worked at Diamond Cabaret or Rick’s Cabaret, or in the adult entertainment industry, or even in the food and beverage industry, and you think you had your wages stolen, visit DenverGov.org/StripClubs to submit a complaint to our Denver Labor investigators.

The audit process is not a quick endeavor; it can range from a few months to over a year, depending on the specifics of the audit. We rigorously adhere to the Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards to guarantee our work is not only thorough and accurate but also independent. Any assertion that someone can uncover “fraud” or “inefficiency” within just days may suggest a clear lack of depth and purpose in their approach.

Identifying inefficiencies, risks, or potential fraud in city departments is a serious matter. Public auditors are professionals, and their goal is not to reduce resources but to apply their analytical skills to improve public goods and services. They follow rigorous standards to ensure objectivity, accuracy, and consistency in their work.
