Summary
This report provides information regarding the implementation status of publicly reported recommendations made by the Forensic Unit of the Auditor General’s Office. These recommendations were made in the context of the annual reports on the Fraud and Waste Hotline and other special reviews conducted.
Confidential recommendations may also be made to management in the context of investigations. The implementation status of confidential recommendations is communicated directly to the City Manager.
Following up on outstanding recommendations from previous reports is important and ensures that management has taken appropriate action to implement recommendations.
From January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2015, a total of 30 recommendations made by the Forensic Unit were reported publicly. Twenty-five of them were implemented before 2016.
A total of five outstanding recommendations were included in the 2017 follow-up review. The results of our verification indicate that management has fully implemented four recommendations, leaving only one outstanding recommendation.
Continued efforts to implement outstanding recommendations will provide additional benefits to the City through cost savings, additional revenue, control improvements and enhanced service delivery.
