In addition to audits that are carried out as part of the division's regularly scheduled workplan, Internal Audit can also provide a range of consulting and assurance services to City Departments. We can assist you with the following:
-
Risk Assessment and Internal Controls Advising--Internal auditors are trained to review activities for potential risks and threats and then assess the controls being used to mitigate those risks. If you are launching a new activity or have a function not performing to acceptable standards, IAD offers a disciplined approach for designing controls that will help you meet your goals. IAD can also provide
training to managers about how to foster a strong control environment.
-
Fraud Detection and Investigation--One of IAD's responsibilities is to minimize waste, fraud, or abuse in City government. If you are concerned about a possible fraud or misuse of public funds by a City employee, contractor, or grant recipient, our department can investigate those concerns. Please see our
Fraud Hotline page for more information.
-
Consulting Services--Providing consulting advice can be a natural extension of auditing's investigative and analytic approach. Examples of consulting services could include developing internal control systems, evaluating assets, implementing information technology systems, or providing independent research and evaluation of several courses of action.
