There are plenty of people in Baltimore complaining about city audits -- or the lack of them -- including many of the candidates running for mayor. Does the city do audits in a way that produces accurate and timely information about Baltimore's $3.2 billion budget? Is that information shared freely and transparently? Tom puts those questions to the man who should know: the City Auditor, Robert McCarty. A certified public accountant and fraud examiner, McCarty has been the City Auditor for 10 years. His independent Department of Audits reports directly to the City Comptroller, Joan Pratt. In his conversation with Tom, Robert McCarty explains how voter-mandated changes in the city auditing rules could eventually bring greater clarity and transparency to Baltimore City's much-maligned budgeting process.
