UPDATE: Internal audit has a busy schedule

UPDATE: This meeting is worth the re-watch. One of the committee members asked why they were NOT auditing the City Attorney’s office, because as he put it, ‘it is on the heat map’ which means it is a critical department to audit because it has been in a long time. So audit chair, councilor David Barranco asked our ONLY internal auditor, Ryan, what the process is to get this audit on the 3 year schedule. Ryan basically said he must put in a request with him and then he would have to amend that schedule and it would have to be amended by the committee at a future meeting. In other words, he wasn’t looking for more work (even though our internal auditor only collects evidence and passes it onto our outside counsel). So Barranco with the urging of another member decided to amend the schedule right there and throw it on the agenda. So with one quick motion and vote it will be included on the audit schedule. It was a good example of government cutting thru the crap and getting something done instead of playing reindeer games.

A lot to accomplish in 3 years when you only have ONE employee . . . oh, and they are using outside sources, because you know, the best way to conduct an INTERNAL audit is to use OUTSIDE sources 🙁
