Placer County Internal Audit outlines projects, seeks input for FY 26/27 plan
Summary
The Auditor‑Controller’s Internal Audit Division presented reports and a list of current projects, began the countywide risk assessment for the FY 26/27 audit plan, and said a draft HHS business process review will be finalized after an exit meeting; HHS management thanked auditors for the work.
The Internal Audit Division of the Placer County Auditor‑Controller’s Office presented a status update to the Audit Committee on April 15, outlining reports issued since the last meeting and projects currently under way.
Andrew Pope, a managing accountant‑auditor in Internal Audits, said the division is beginning the annual countywide risk assessment to inform the FY 26/27 internal audit plan and solicited feedback from the Audit Committee on potential audit topics and areas of concern. Current projects reported as in progress or completing various phases include a CW employee reimbursements and travel advances review (issuing this week), the Quarterly Treasury Review Q2 (final report issued March 30, 2026), contractor and subrecipient monitoring for non‑HHS departments, multiple transfers of accountability of assets engagements (LAFCO, Library, DGS, County Counsel), Human Resources employee benefits and retiree administration planning, and several follow‑up and monitoring engagements related to HHS and DGS fleet inventory.
Auditor‑Controller Andy Sisk updated the committee on a consulting‑style business process review of Health and Human Services (HHS). Sisk said a draft report containing key observations was issued to HHS management; because the engagement was performed as a consulting review rather than a formal audit, the final report will not include formal management responses. An exit meeting is expected in the coming weeks and the final report is anticipated for presentation at the July Audit Committee meeting.
"We are looking forward to the recommendations and the exit meeting," said Raul Martinez, Assistant Director of HHS, thanking the Auditor’s Office for the time and attention devoted to the review, which began in November. The committee also honored Chair Jay Panzica with a plaque for his five years of service.
The Internal Audit Division will continue the risk assessment work and return to the committee with the FY 26/27 audit plan priorities at a future meeting.
