Arlington board approves auditor—s FY2027 risk-based work plan
Summary
The Arlington County Board unanimously approved the Office of the County Auditor—s FY2027 risk-based multiyear work plan, which prioritizes audits (flood resiliency, committed affordable unit program, revenue controls, constituent service portal, fee-setting) tied to organizational risk assessments and stakeholder input.
The Arlington County Board unanimously approved the county auditor—s fiscal year 2027 audit work plan after a presentation outlining a risk-based approach to performance and follow-up audits.
County Auditor (presented to the board) described the FY2027 plan as a move to a risk-based, multiyear framework with carryover audits and a flexible long-range list for 2028–29. Auditor staff said the plan emerged from stakeholder engagement, including consultation with audit-committee members and external business stakeholders such as the Arlington County Chamber of Commerce. The plan highlights audits of flood-resiliency recommendations, service-charge revenue controls, administration of the committed affordable unit program, the county—s constituent service request portal, and DPR fee-setting and data-quality processes.
Vice Chair Coffey and other board members praised the audit office—s outreach and methodology, and the board voted to adopt the plan as presented. The board also discussed follow-up audits and verification to ensure prior recommendations are implemented. The vote was recorded and the plan will be presented to the audit committee for additional input.
The approved plan is intended to help the county prioritize audit resources where risk is greatest and to provide recommendations that assist program managers and elected officials in mitigating those risks.
