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.
