Summary

Internal Audit reported that Environmental Services followed P‑card and travel procedures for FY2025 (21 active P‑cards, 544 transactions, ~$166,000 total) and recommended continuing current controls; the FOAC accepted the results and will forward them to city council.

Miguel Bonteil of Internal Audit presented the results of an audit of Environmental Services’ P‑card and travel processes covering Sept. 1, 2024, through Aug. 31, 2025. Bonteil reported that ESD had 21 active P‑cards and 544 transactions during the audit period totaling just over $166,000, and that review of receipts, approvals, reconcilations and card cancellations met city policy.

"Based on our work, environmental services has processes in place to ensure that P‑card purchases and travel requests are proper," Bonteil said. Internal Audit described its scope and methods — policy review, interviews, transaction testing and follow-up on card cancellations after employee separation — and recommended the department continue current practices. There were no required management responses because the audit contained positive findings.

A committee member moved to accept the report and forward it to city council; the motion was seconded and carried without further changes.
