The Office of the New York City Comptroller, led by independently elected Comptroller Mark Levine, serves as the city’s chief financial oversight office. Its work focuses on safeguarding New York City’s fiscal health, identifying waste, fraud and abuse in local government, and promoting effective public services for all New Yorkers. The office provides financial reporting, analysis and transparency through resources such as annual financial reports, cash forecasts, economic outlooks and public data dashboards. It also audits city agencies and programs, monitors government performance, and reports on issues including labor standards, housing, climate, pensions and infrastructure.

Services for residents include filing claims, requesting records under the Freedom of Information Law, obtaining a Certificate of Residence, checking payment inquiries and accessing city retiree resources. Businesses and city agencies can find vendor forms, contract guidance, directives, tax reporting information and procurement opportunities. The office also manages pension and investment oversight, publishes reports and public updates, and offers information on workers’ rights, language access and other community concerns.
