Job Description
The New York City Comptroller’s Office works to promote the financial health, integrity, and effectiveness of New York City government, in order to strengthen trust, secure a thriving future for all New Yorkers, and build a more just, equitable, and resilient city. Led by an independently elected citywide official, the comptroller’s office provides checks and balances needed to hold City government accountable for budgeting wisely, investing responsibly, operating efficiently, acting fairly, living up to its obligations and promises, and paying attention to the long-term challenges we face together.
The Bureau of Contract Administration (BCA) is responsible for reviewing and approving City contracts and agreements before they are legally effective unless this authority has been delegated to city agencies or is otherwise not legally required. The City Charter gives BCA up to 30 calendar days to review contracts and agreements. During this period, BCA ensures that appropriate funds exist for the city to make payments to vendors, confirms that the contracting agency followed proper procurement rules, and that there was no corruption in the decision-making process. BCA also ensures that contracting agencies have checked vendors looking to do business with the City and that vendors are operating in good standing and eligible to be awarded a city contract. Through its collaborations with other city agencies, and analyses like the Annual Summary Contracts Report, BCA also works to increase efficiency and public value across the City’s procurement activities and to improve transparency around how public funds are spent.
