Board’s ad hoc committee moves internal audit procurement to September interviews; board clears 25 audit recommendations
Summary
An ad hoc joint audit committee advanced interviews for internal audit services in September; the full board approved marking 25 internal audit recommendations complete and accepted the external audit plan for Macias, Gini & O'Connell.
The joint audit ad hoc committee reported it received four proposals for internal audit services, shortlisted three firms for interviews (Baker Tilly, Crow, and Pier‑Morin/Pat Morin — transcript uses a variant spelling), and scheduled interviews for September 3. The board said it will receive a recommendation following the interviews and expects to select an internal audit services provider to conduct ongoing internal audit work.
Separately, the board approved a staff request to mark 25 internal audit recommendations as complete after staff review and joint audit committee consideration. Trustees voted to move the items from “proposed complete” to “complete” so the audit tracking can focus on remaining open recommendations.
Trustees also adopted the external audit plan (referred to as the audit plan by Macias Gini O'Connell) recommended by the joint audit committee and approved its submission to the full board.
The board said the city auditor agreed to attend the internal audit interviews as a subject matter expert. The ad hoc committee and trustees described the proposals from the shortlisted firms as high quality and expected the committee would have a difficult choice among finalists.
