Shannon Riggle, auditor for the City of Oberon, completed the Auditor’s Certification Program with the North Dakota League of Cities.
“This is a great honor for a city auditor,” said Chelsey Benson, training services and communications manager for the North Dakota League of Cities.
“Each city can be proud of this accomplishment and will enjoy the benefits of having a city leader so committed to the future of the community.”
The Auditor’s Certification Program is an education requirement for city auditors passed during the 2017 Legislative Session.
As of Jan. 1, 2018, NDCC 40-16-03(18) requires new city auditors to complete training based on curriculum set by the North Dakota League of Cities. Training must be completed within one year of assuming office.
The certification program consists of five courses focusing on essential auditor skills, taxes and budgeting, meetings and records, human resources and communications.
All five lessons are completed online with additional information available for auditors for reference.
The North Dakota League of Cities provides service, advocacy, leadership, education and support for North Dakota’s 357 incorporated cities. The Leadership Training Program is the cornerstone of the League’s commitment to providing city officials with the tools they need to govern effectively.
