Not sure how the city's procurement system works, but change orders will make intial budgets go over in my company. It sounds like they werent documenting and trending their budgets for the changes. It wouldnt surprise me if theres some shady things behind the scenes, but its hard to believe the auditor when she isnt following basic protocol.
