Title
Chief Administrative Office and Auditor-Controller providing an update on the work plan for the Internal Auditor's work in the Health Services Department. (Cont'd 11/2/10, Item 26)
Body
Background:
On November 2, 2010, the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) and Auditor-Controller informed the Board on the role and assignment of the Internal Auditor in the Health Services Department. The recent retirement of the CFO in Health Services has provided an opportunity for the CAO and Auditor-Controller in conjunction with the department head to validate the Health Services financial system and ensure its integrity prior to hiring a new CFO and expanding the current cost accounting system to the public health division. A key aspect of the Internal Auditor position is that the Auditor Controller and the Chief Administrative Officer shall determine the Internal Auditor's work plan jointly.
The Board directed the CAO and Auditor-Controller to return on December 7, 2010 with a mutually agreed upon work plan. A copy of that work plan is attached to this agenda item
Recommendation:
CAO and Auditor-Controller to continue to report back regularly to the Board during CAO Reports on the status of implementing the work plan.
