Audit running; staff detail document requests and strengthen internal checks
Summary
Staff reported a sustained information request load from auditors and described tightened internal controls including deposit back‑checks and labor‑hours verification; an expected audit completion date was discussed but not confirmed.
The committee received an update on the city audit. Staff said the audit firm has requested numerous items and that Tiffany and accounting staff have turned many items around quickly; the audit team is reviewing documents and staff could not yet guarantee an end‑of‑June completion.
A staff member described the auditors’ sample requests and the nature of evidence required: canceled checks, invoices and payment dates. "They needed 30 items of income and 30 items of...copy of the canceled check, copy of the invoice, and then the date that was paid," the staff member said. Councilors and staff also discussed tightening internal controls: adding back‑checks for cash receipts, verifying deposit tickets, and consistent bookkeeping roles to reduce errors.
