office's organizational structure. She reviewed the Treasurer's Office's various revenue and
expense lines, stating that her FY2026 budget request will show a $23,000 decrease from the

Bill White, DuPage Count Auditor, presented his office's organizational structure and explained
how the Auditor's Office is established through Illinois law. The primary day-to-day

by the County. The Auditor's Office also conducts ongoing assessments of the effectiveness of
the County's internal control activities and makes recommendations to strengthen internal control
activities. The Auditor's Office does not generate revenue as it is an internal service department.
