Background:
|
After an outside consultant completed a Risk Assessment of ACPS, the School Board approved funding in the FY 2016 Combined Funds Budget for an internal audit program. In spring of 2016 the School Board awarded a contract to Gibson Consulting Group to conduct audits in the following areas: Procurement, Facilities and Payroll.
The Procurement audit was completed by Gibson at the beginning of this year and ACPS Management provided responses to the recommendations in the audit. The report presents commendations as well as recommendations to improve processes, controls, and management practices in the Procurement Department. There are a total of twenty-one recommendations in the audit report; three low priority, ten medium priority and eight high priority. Management agrees with most of the recommendations in the report and has already begun implementing changes in the department.
