SUBJECT
Title
Receive a report, hold a discussion, and give staff direction regarding the FY18 Annual Audit Plan
Body
BACKGROUND
The City Auditor is required to provide the Mayor and Councilmembers with an annual work plan. The basis for this plan comes from a risk assessment that consisted of auditor observations and inquiries with City Council and members of management based on likelihood and impact to the organization. Likelihood and impact were assigned risk factors.
Additionally, the available resources to complete audits were examined. The hours required to perform the work plan are estimated hours. After considering hours that are unavailable for audits due to paid time off, administrative duties, required in-house and external training, meetings and other time off, the net available hours for audits are determined.
At the time of this writing the FY18 budget has not been adopted; however, this FY18 Annual Audit Plan assumes an additional Staff Auditor for nine months of FY18.
