DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION:

 

The Auditor-Controller’s Office (ACO) recommends the Board of Supervisors accept the Follow-up to the General Services Procurement Internal Control Review.

 

SUMMARY AND DISCUSSION:

 

Pursuant to the Internal Audit Division’s FY 2024/25 Audit Plan, the ACO conducted a follow-up to the Procurement Internal Control Review to determine whether the General Services Purchasing Division (Purchasing) resolved the findings identified in the report presented to the Board on May 9, 2023.

 

The report had two (2) findings. The ACO follow-up review determined that one (1) of the two (2) findings has been resolved and the other is partially resolved. To resolve the open finding, Purchasing has engaged a consultant to assist with revisions to procurement policy.

 

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

 

The acceptance of the report has no financial impact.

 

ALTERNATIVES:

 

The Board of Supervisors could elect not to accept the report. This alternative is not consistent with sound public policy and is therefore not recommended

 

 

 

OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:

 

The General Services Department has reviewed and accepted the report. Management’s response has been incorporated into the report.
