A report by the California State Auditor accuses the City of Anaheim of mismanaging tourism-related contracts and millions of dollars in related funds.
State Auditor Grant Parks released the report on Tuesday morning after his office conducted an “urgent audit” of the city’s public funds that were disbursed to two private nonprofit entities: The Anaheim Chamber of Commerce and the Anaheim and Orange County Visitor and Convention Bureau (Visit Anaheim).

“The city entered into contracts with and disbursed more than $100 million to Visit Anaheim, and the Chamber received from both the city and Visit Anaheim more than $6 million in public funds from fiscal years 2012-13 through 2021-22,” the audit report said. “In general, we determined that the city lacked a meaningful contract monitoring process and did not properly manage the contracts it entered into with these entities, resulting in unallowable spending and unmet deliverables.”
