Memo ID# 2020003
This memorandum provides information related to the new Internal Audits page on the City of
Carlsbad website.
Background
The internal auditor distributes completed audit reports to the parties who can ensure the
results are given due consideration, including the City Council and appropriate members of city
management. To promote transparency and acco1.,1ntability, the internal auditor will also post
completed reports and other relevant information on a new Internal Audits page on the city's
website.
Discussion
The Internal Audits page on the city's website is located on the "City Services" button on the
Mega Menu under "City Departments." The page includes the mission statement, internal audit
framework approved in Council Policy No.89, links to audit reports and relevant City Council
meetings, and a short bio.
After an internal audit report is completed, it is distributed through a council memorandum to
the City Council and other parties, as appropriate. The internal auditor attends a City Council
meeting at least twice a year to communicate results of audit activities and progress on the
annual audit plan. Thus, the internal auditor will present the results of a completed audit report
at the next scheduled City Council meeting and post the report to the city's website shortly after.
Next Steps
The first audit report posted on the Internal Audits page will be the August 2019 Citywide Cash
Count, after it is presented at a City Council meeting toward the end of the fiscal year. Otherwise,
the Internal Audits page is live and available for viewing.
