Title
Review of GRU Capital Project Contracts (B)
Explanation
In accordance with our Annual Audit Plan, the City Auditor's Office has completed a Review of GRU Capital Project Contracts. The primary objective of our audit was to evaluate the system of management control over the process for monitoring GRU capital project contracts. During our review, we interviewed key personnel, analyzed operating data and evaluated management controls.
Based on the results of our review, we believe that opportunities exist for GRU to strengthen the process of overseeing capital project contracts. Our report, which includes a response from the General Manager, is attached for your review. The report provides two recommendations related to improving the contract management process and reporting on the status of GRU capital projects.
We request that the Committee recommend the City Commission accept our report and the General Manager's response. Also, in accordance with City Commission Resolution 970187, Section 10, Responsibilities for Follow-up on Audits, we request that the Committee recommend the City Commission instruct the City Auditor to conduct a follow-up review on recommendations made and report the results to the Audit, Finance and Legislative Committee.
Recommendation
The City Commission: 1) Accept the City Auditor's report and the response from the General Manager for Utilities; and 2) instruct the City Auditor to conduct a follow-up review on recommendations made and report the results to the Audit, Finance and Legislative Committee.
