BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

 

The Internal Audit Department (IAD) is pleased to present the Annual Risk Assessment and Audit Plan for Fiscal Year 2024-25 (Audit Plan) for Board of Supervisors (Board) approval (Attachment B). IAD supports and assists the Board and County management in the realization of their business goals and objectives by testing and reporting on the effectiveness of County internal control systems and efficiency of business processes. IAD has prepared an Audit Plan that provides a systematic approach for evaluating the effectiveness of internal control and efficiency of County business operations. The Audit Plan is a comprehensive plan that details audits to be completed in the upcoming fiscal year and incorporates the results of the Countywide risk assessment. The Fiscal Year 2023-24 Annual Risk Assessment and Audit Plan was approved by the Board on June 27, 2023. The Fiscal Year 2024-25 Annual Risk Assessment and Audit Plan was approved by the Audit Oversight Committee on May 16, 2024.

 

IAD issues written reports following the conclusion of each internal audit engagement and the results are summarized quarterly for the Board and are presented in the Executive Summary of Internal Audit Reports (Attachment A). The report for this quarter covers three audit reports issued from January 1, 2024 to March 31, 2024 (Attachments C through E).
