Audit committee authorizes performance and process audit of clerk‑auditor's office and restricted funds
Summary
The committee unanimously approved GPP Analytics to begin a performance and process audit of the clerk‑auditor's office covering external audit management, budget development and monitoring, AP/AR/contract management and restricted‑funds (TRT, roads, airport); members emphasized minimizing burden on staff and prioritizing areas for immediate improvement.
The Grand County Audit Committee voted to authorize GPP Analytics to perform a performance and process audit of the clerk‑auditor's office and a restricted‑funds audit covering transient room tax (TRT), roads and the airport. Commissioner Martinez moved the motion to engage GPP Analytics with the stated scope; the committee discussed sequencing and minimizing the burden on county staff before approving the motion unanimously.
Julian said the audits will require time commitment from staff and recommended the committee authorize the work so audit staff can schedule interviews and pull records now that Cassell access is available. Committee members argued some findings could usefully inform 2027 budget decisions and urged progress before the next budget cycle. One commissioner added that presenting an annual risk assessment by year‑end would help the committee plan future internal audits; Julian agreed the assessment should follow initial audit activity and suggested it be used to prioritize the plan for the next year.
The committee also instructed that audit process and efficiency decisions be directed by the internal‑audit lead to reduce duplication and streamline contact with the clerk‑auditor's office. The motion passed with a second and a unanimous voice vote.
