Carson City audit committee accepts credit‑card security report, closes several findings and outlines FY26 audits

Summary

The Carson City Audit Committee reviewed an internal audit of credit‑card payment security and compliance, accepted recommendations to standardize payment agreements and contract documentation, voted to close multiple completed findings, and confirmed plans for two FY26 audits and a risk‑assessment update.

The Carson City Audit Committee on Wednesday accepted an internal audit report on the city’s credit‑card payment security and compliance and approved closing several completed audit findings while setting the fiscal‑year 2026 audit schedule.

The committee voted to accept the report prepared by Eide Bailly LLP, which identified two primary observations: inconsistent fee structures across multiple payment processors used by city departments and one outdated payment‑processing contract among seven reviewed. Eric Poulce, principal on the engagement for Eide Bailly, told the committee the work examined “credit card transaction workflows, vendor oversight, PCI compliance procedures” and that “this does not represent a significant risk to the city’s compliance posture,” while noting opportunities to improve oversight and documentation.

The audit firm recommended a cross‑department review of payment‑processing agreements to align fee structures and standardize vendor contracts. The report also recommended improving contract‑management documentation; the treasurer and the city’s contracts administrator agreed to collaborate and the committee recorded that recommendation as implemented.
