BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

 

Internal Audit Department (IAD) issues written reports following the conclusion of each internal audit engagement and the results are summarized quarterly for the Board of Supervisors (Board) in the Executive Summary of Internal Audit Reports (Attachment A). The report for this quarter covers seven audit reports issued from April 1, 2025, to June 30, 2025 (Attachments C through I). The prior Executive Summary for reports issued between January 1, 2025, to March 31, 2025, was received by the Board on June 24, 2025.

 

IAD adheres to the mandatory guidance issued by the Institute of Internal Auditors, including the Global Internal Audit Standards, which requires that the chief audit executive confirm to the Board, at least annually, the organizational independence of the internal audit activity. The FY 2024-25 Annual Report on Independence confirms that IAD’s internal audit activity has been free from interference in determining the scope of internal auditing, performing work, and communicating results (Attachment B). The prior FY 2023-24 Annual Report on Independence was received by the Board on September 24, 2024.
