Boise City council affirms FY26 internal audit work plan
Summary
Council members affirmed the Office of Internal Audit27s proposed fiscal year 2026 work plan after a presentation from Brian Myrcel. The plan continues regular accounts-payable and purchasing-card reviews and proposes targeted audits including fire training, hillside development procedures, payroll overtime and police inventory controls.
Brian Myrcel of the Office of Internal Audit presented the proposed fiscal year 2026 work plan and asked the council to affirm the audit committee27s direction. "Our team is currently made up of 3 motivated audit professionals," Myrcel said, and noted the office was established in February 2003.
The audit office described ongoing continuous-auditing activities that support city operations. Myrcel said the office reviews accounts payable weekly and has reviewed approximately $329,000,000 in invoices this year, with about 160 follow-up inquiries. He also said staff perform daily purchasing-card reviews and have reviewed roughly 12,000,000 in transactions with 308 follow-up inquiries. "The daily reviews are valuable for identifying issues early, allowing us to initiate corrective action promptly," Myrcel said.
Myrcel presented a list of planned projects developed from a risk assessment across city divisions. Proposed audits include fire training compliance, engineering reviews of hillside development and drainage procedures, risk-management processes including safety inspections, payroll overtime analysis, parks and recreation revenue and inventory controls, travel and meal expense reviews, and police inventory controls for weapons, tasers, ammunition and tactical gear.
Council members expressed support. "Great work," one council member said after the presentation. Council member Corliss moved to affirm the audit committee27s direction for the FY26 work plan; the motion was seconded and the council approved the affirmation. Myrcel said the audit committee discussed the plan on Aug. 26 and that the annual submittal to council is required by city code.
No specific implementation dates or additional staffing requests were included in the presentation; Myrcel did not propose budgetary changes during the council action. The work plan document presented to the council contains routine daily, weekly and monthly audit activities plus the list of individual projects to be scheduled during the year.
