City auditor reports progress on internal audits; continuity-of-operations items still outstanding
Summary
City Auditor Michelle Crawford gave a Q3 internal audit update: several audits are in reporting or testing, police firearms recommendations largely implemented, and continuity-of-operations (COOP) recommendations remain partially outstanding; court controls work remains in progress with a target follow-up in November.
Michelle Crawford, city auditor, provided the committee with a third-quarter internal audit update, listing ongoing engagements and the status of prior recommendations.
Crawford said in-progress audits included a card expense review (moving into reporting), facility project delivery (testing), and APD body-worn camera compliance (in reporting). She reported progress on the police firearms audit recommendations and said court administration has been closing recommendations but that one systems-controls recommendation had its implementation extended to November as court administration evaluates options.
On continuity of operations (COOP) plans, Crawford presented a status map showing departments with substantial completion, partial completion and those behind schedule. She said several COOP recommendations cannot be completed until departments finish their departmental COOP documents and that the office of emergency management is working with departments on that effort.
Eric Givens, sitting in for a court contact, said court services is preparing an RFP for a vendor to support the systems-controls work after a prior vendor judged the scope not a fit; training and purchasing are coordinating the RFP. Givens said the team is taking the matter seriously and will update the committee as procurement advances.
Ending: Auditor Crawford said staff will track implementation progress and that the committee can expect updates; the court administration systems-control work has an extended due date in the audit-tracking system to allow time to procure and implement a solution.
