City Auditor Audit Plan                                                         March 6, 2012

Attachment 2 
 
BACKGROUND 
 
The audit function is an essential element of the City of Sacramento's public 
accountability.  The mission of the Office of the City Auditor is, “To provide a catalyst for 
improvements of municipal operations, promote credible, efficient, effective, fair, 
focused, transparent, and a fully accountable City Government.” 
 
According to City Code Section 2.18.030; 
 
“By March 1
st
 each year, the city auditor shall submit an Annual Audit Plan 
to the city council for approval.  The Annual Audit Plan may be amended 
during the year with the approval of the City Council.  The Council may, by 
resolution, authorize a committee, charter officer, or an individual 
councilmember with respect to the councilmember's own office, to request 
additional audits.”
 
 
In developing the initial Annual Audit Plan, the City Auditor uses a number of techniques 
and input sources to identify areas of high audit potential that can be completed or 
initiated during 2012-13 with the audit resources available.  For example, in order to 
identify and prioritize potential audits based on the level of risk to the City, the City 
Auditor’s Office completed a Citywide Risk Assessment.  The City Auditor’s Office also 
solicited audit suggestions from the Mayor, City Councilmembers, City Management, 
and City staff, and identified potential audit areas by reviewing City financial information, 
reports, policies, procedures, ordinances and regulations.  Finally, the City Auditor relied 
on professional experience and expertise to identify areas of high audit potential. 
 
By considering a wide variety of information sources, the intent is to submit to the City 
Council for its approval an Annual Audit Plan that promotes fairness and ensures that 
the City Auditor’s Office will prove to be value added for the City of Sacramento by 
focusing its resources on those areas with the highest audit potential.  The results of 
this process form the basis for the City Auditor’s Annual Audit Plan for Fiscal Year 2012-
13. 
 
The list of audits in the City Auditor’s Annual Audit Plan for 2012-13 includes several 
audits that were carried over from the 2011-12
1
.  Given limited audit resources, only 
three new projects are being added to the proposed 2012-13 audit plan.  The new 
audits proposed are a City Inventory Systems Audit, City Wireless Communications 
Audit, and a City Vendor List Audit. 
 
  
                                                           
1 The Auditor’s Office was not fully staffed during the year due to several long term leave requests limiting the 
Office’s ability to initiate or complete several of the audits approved for the 2011-12 Audit Plan.

RESOLUTION NO. 
Adopted by the Sacramento City Council 
 
APPROVING THE CITY AUDITOR’S ANNUAL AUDIT PLAN FOR FISCAL YEAR 
2012-13 
 
 
BACKGROUND 
A. City Code Section 2.18.030 requires that the City Auditor submit an Annual Audit 
Plan to the City Council for approval.   
 
B. The Annual Audit Plan contains the planned projects to be completed during the 
upcoming fiscal year. 
 
C. Significant audit fieldwork cannot proceed without the adoption of the audit plan 
by a majority of the City Council. 
 
BASED ON THE FACTS SET FORTH IN THE BACKGROUND, THE CITY COUNCIL

3 
EXHIBIT A – CITY AUDITOR ANNUAL AUDIT PLAN FOR FISCAL YEAR 2012-13 
 
 
Carried Over From Last Year’s Audit Plan 
 
Purchase Cards 
I am proposing an audit of Purchase Cards because: 1) the City makes extensive use of 
Purchase Cards to acquire goods and services; 2) a prior Sacramento City Auditor 
Office report identified several problems with a department’s use of Purchase Cards; 
and 3) other jurisdiction’s audits of Purchase Card Programs have resulted in significant 
cost savings and improved internal controls over procurement processes.  
 
City Sidewalk Repair Process 
After reviewing the Auditor’s proposed audit plan, the audit committee requested that an 
audit of the City’s sidewalk repair process be added to the audit plan that will go before 
the City Council.  The committee is concerned with how sidewalk repairs are being 
identified, prioritized, and addressed.  The committee believed there is an opportunity to 
improve our sidewalk repair system.  
 
311 Call Center 
I am proposing an audit of the 311 Call Center because: 1) In April 2010 the 311 Call 
Center received 37,626 calls, e-mails, walk-ins and faxes; 2) recent 311 Call Center 
activity reports show significant service level deteriorations in both caller wait times and 
caller hang ups due to long wait times; 3) on average 400 callers per day (Monday- 
Friday) hang up before getting service; and 4) wait times between 8:00 A.M. and 4:00 
P.M. (Monday- Friday) average 5 to 10 minutes.  
 
Citywide Employee Supplemental Pay 
I am proposing an audit of the Employee Supplemental Pay because the Council has 
expressed interest in enhancing the City’s transparency and providing citizen access to 
information about elected and employee compensation information.   In addition to 
disclosing base pay, it is also important for the City to have a clear understanding of 
overall employee cash compensation.  According to the Finance Department, labor 
costs make up almost 80% of the General Fund’s expenditures. This audit may review 
supplemental labor costs, overtime, premium pay, out of class pay, and leave costs.  
 
Additional Audits Proposed 
 
City Inventory Systems Audit  
Establishing strong controls to protect City assets is important to ensure adequate 
supplies of materials, inventory accuracy, and inventory accountability.  For this audit, 
we will perform a targeted Citywide risk assessment to identify which City operations 
could most benefit from a inventory audit.  Based on this risk assessment, we will 
perform additional analysis to review and test whether adequate internal controls exist 
to manage City inventories, prevent and detect errors and irregularities, and ensure 
system access is properly segregated.

4 
 
City Wireless Communications Audit 
The purpose of this audit is to assess whether adequate controls are in place regarding 
cell phone assignment, oversight and use.  This audit will also review contracts with 
service providers to determine if they are designed to economically and effectively meet 
the City’s communication needs.  
 
City Vendor List Audit 
The master vendor file is a critical City resource. Inaccurate, incomplete, or 
unauthorized master vendor files could have a negative effect on processing vendor 
payments and may increase the risk of fraud or abuse in the City’s vendor payments. 
This audit will assess whether the City has adequate controls regarding its master 
vendor file and is effectively monitoring and maintaining its vendor information.   
 
Other Reports from the Auditor’s Office 
 
Quarterly Reports 
The City Auditor will forward to the Audit Committee quarterly reports describing the 
status of audit assignments and the progress the Office is making toward completing 
them. 
 
Recommendation Follow-up Reports 
On a semiannual basis, the City Auditor will report on the status of audit 
recommendations. 
 
Other Potential Audits Not Included in the City Auditor’s 2012-13 Audit Plan 
 
The City Auditor’s 2012-13 Audit Plan is ambitious and encompasses a broad array of 
City programs and services.  However, there are many other potential audits that are 
not included in the 2012-13 Audit Plan due to limited audit resources.  The following are 
a few of the audit areas not included due to limited audit resources: 
 
? City Grants Management and Oversight 
? Citywide Inventory of City IT Systems 
? An Audit of Heavy Vehicle Use 
? Audit of the use of City owned property and facilities 
? City Overtime Controls Audit 
 
During the course of the year, the City Council may collectively decide to add an audit of 
an area not listed on the approved audit plan.  The Audit Committee may also modify 
the Auditor’s approved audit plan to as needed.  However, doing so will limit the Office’s 
ability to complete the audits already on the audit plan.

5 
Audit Process 
 
To ensure that audits are responsive to the City Council’s needs, as part of the normal 
audit process, the City Auditor will request input from each council member at the start 
of each audit. 
 
The City Auditor will present completed audit reports to the Audit Committee, which will 
also hear testimony from the audited entity and other interested parties.  The Audit 
Committee will report at a subsequent City Council meeting the results of the 
Committee’s review of the audit report and its recommendations.  The City Auditor may 
present an audit report directly to the City Council when the City Council directs the City 
Auditor to do so.

BACKGROUND
a
The Internal Auditor functions as an objective evaluator of the effectiveness of all City
activities, operations, services and programs, ensuring compliance with organizational
policies and procedures, state statutes, and federal regulations. The Internal Audit
Manager reports to the City Manager, with access to the City Council, and maintains
organizational and operational independence from all other departments within the City.
The results of all completed projects are required to be presented to the City Manager
and the City Council.
Procedures
The City Manager's internal operating procedures require the submission of an Annual
Internal Audit Workplan for the City Council's approval. The Annual Internal Audit
Workplan contains the planned projects to be completed during the current fiscal year.
Significant audit fieldwork cannot proceed without the review of the City Manager and
the approval of a majority of the City Council.
Responsibility
The Internal Audit Manager is responsible for preparing the Annual Internal Audit
Workplan for review by the City Manager and subsequent submission to the City
Council.
Work Process
The approval of the Annual Internal Audit Workplan is a critical step in the audit work
process. Significant audit fieldwork cannot proceed without the review of the City
Manager and approval of the City Council.
Modifications and Changes
The Annual Internal Audit Workplan is routinely modified as circumstances change
throughout the year. However, changes will only be made at 1) the direction of the City
Manager and City Council or 2) following changes initiated by the Internal Audit
Manager and subsequently authorized by the City Manager and City Council.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
No additional financial considerations.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
