Before he's sworn in, and assumes any liability or responsibility for past mismanagement of city finances.

Not a bad idea. Gotta know where you're at to start pre-planning.

Great in theory, but they only do state audits, not city.

Wrong. They can audit towns, cities, colleges, state agencies, etc.

If its an investigative audit. They are very good at uncovering theft, mismanagement of funds, illegal activity, etc.

wrong, their audits are exceptionally thorough.

The problem is that a 2024 audit might not be ready until 2028.

Trump’s FBI

Set up an office in City Hall and watch the rats scatter. You could easily charge half the political leadership in this town. C/P, judges, NGOs, consultants, union officials, etc.

The list is long.

No. They may have a list of approved licensed cpa firms to conduct standard yearly audits that are then submitted to the state auditor. If they cant complete the audit due to missing monies, documents, or other issues then that cpa firm notifies the state auditor's office. That triggers an investigative audit. They come in and look over everything and go back a number of years looking for issues of wrongdoing/patterns of abuse.

They start digging for skeletons and looking at every thing and anything.

Right but what he really means is a forensic audit. Totally different and is expensive.
