City Comptroller William C. Thompson, Jr. today released a report listing accomplishments during his first 100 days in office. The City's 42nd Comptroller, who assumed office Jan. 1st, initiated a number of management improvements and cost-saving measures to ensure the City's fiscal integrity, safeguard its investments and protect its long-term financial health.

"Over the past 100 days, we laid a solid foundation for the challenging work in the years ahead," Thompson said. "I have reorganized my office to strengthen accountability. This new structure enables my staff to keep a vigilant focus on the City's operations and to call for improvements."

The report details a number of the Comptroller's key accomplishments, including savings produced by audits, corporate governance reforms and prevailing wage enforcement.

The Comptroller makes recommendations on City programs and operations, fiscal policies, and financial transactions. The office is responsible for more than $80 billion in pension assets, budgetary analysis, audits and contract registrations. The office employs more than 700 professional staff members.
