The Office of the Commission Auditor was established in September 2002 by Ordinance 03-2 to provide support and professional analysis of the policy, service, budgetary and operational issues before the Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners. The ordinance also placed administrative control of the Office of Legislative Analysis under the Office of the Commission Auditor.

Today a team of certified public accountants and experienced legislative analysts perform careful reviews of budgetary issues and Commission actions that impact residents, businesses and visitors in this community.
