From The Denver Post:  After public accusations of obstruction, Denver Zoo officials are now on board with an audit by the city, the Denver Auditor’s Office said Tuesday.

Auditor Timothy O’Brien said in a statement that the zoo has agreed to specific audit requests including:

• Access to all foundation and zoo documents and records

• Access to an on-site area to work

• Unsupervised access to interview employees

• All other cooperation the auditor determines is necessary to achieve audit goals

Earlier this month O’Brien said zoo officials were stonewalling his office in its attempt to conduct an audit, driven in part by public concern of a zoo proposal to build a plant to convert animal “waste-to-energy.”

The auditor’s office wants to investigate money that was spent on the plant and current plans for the proposed facility.

The Denver Zoological Foundation Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees met recently and “solidified the zoo’s next steps regarding the process,” the zoo announced Tuesday.
