1 STAFF REPORT March 30, 2001 To: From: Subject: Audit Committee City Auditor Audit Recommendations Follow-up Purpose: To provide the Audit Committee with information relating to the status of audit recommendations contained in various reports issued by the City Auditor. Financial Implications and Impact Statement: There are no financial implications resulting from the adoption of this report. Recommendations: It is recommended that the Chief Administrative Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, and the appropriate Commissioners, report to the next meeting of the Audit Committee on the status of those audit recommendations included in Appendix 1 and provide the specific action taken or to be taken along with a time frame for implementation. Background: Since amalgamation, the Audit Department has issued a significant number of audit reports containing many recommendations. As part of the ongoing audit process, follow-up audits are conducted in order to ensure that recommendations approved by Council are implemented. In some cases, depending on ongoing audit priorities, these follow-up audits may be conducted up to eighteen months to two years after the initial audit. The time frame for follow-up audits is consistent with the practice at the Ontario Provincial Auditor s Office. The City Auditor s 2001 work plan includes a provision for a number of follow-up audits. While there is a need for follow-up audits, there is also a requirement that the implementation of recommendations be monitored prior to these audits taking place, particularly if follow-up audits are not planned for a period of time.
2 - 2 - Comments: The implementation of audit recommendations made by the City Auditor and approved by City Council is the responsibility of management. Included in Appendix A is a listing of those recommendations which, in our view, continue to be outstanding. At the present time we have not conducted follow-up audits on these particular projects, so some of the recommendations listed as outstanding may have already been addressed by the respective department head. A number of reports relating to the review of cash controls in the Parks and Recreation Division have been issued. These reports contained a significant number of recommendations. The implementation of these recommendations is currently being addressed by an internal task force established by the Economic Development, Culture & Tourism Department, specifically for that purpose. Audit Services is participating on this task force and the implementation of recommendations is ongoing. While certain of these recommendations continue to be outstanding, they are being addressed and, consequently, are not included in Appendix A. Other reports issued during 2000 also contained a significant number of recommendations. These reports included specific audit work related to the Fire Services, Tam Heather Country Club, the Toronto Zoo, Community Centres, Arenas, Business Improvement Areas and the Toronto Public Health Division, Community & Neighbourhood Services Department. At the present time, it is our understanding that each of the recommendations contained in these reports have either been implemented or are in the process of implementation and, as such, are not included in Appendix A. An annual memorandum of recommendations is also prepared by the City s external auditors, Ernst & Young. The comments in the annual memorandum are usually at a fairly high level and are based on Ernst & Young s annual audit of the financial statements of the City. In order to ensure that there is no duplication of audit efforts, we coordinate our audit work with Ernst & Young and work co-operatively with them throughout the year. In addition, we review in detail those recommendations made by Ernst & Young in order to ensure that items of significance are addressed on a timely basis. Certain of the recommendations made by Ernst & Young have previously been made by the City Auditor. Those recommendations that continue to be outstanding are included in Appendix A. A number of audit reports have also been issued to the Toronto Police Services Board. These reports include the following: - Review of the Metropolis Project - Review of the Parking Enforcement Unit - Review of the Investigation of Sexual Assaults - Review of Controls Relating to Police Overtime and Premium Pay
3 - 3 - Specific responses to each of these audits have been provided to the Toronto Police Services Board. The 2001 Audit work plan, relating to the Toronto Police Service, includes a provision for follow-up audits for each of the above, except for the Review of the Investigation of Sexual Assaults. This follow-up audit is planned for In order to provide the Audit Committee with an update in regard to the status of each of the outstanding recommendations included in Appendix A, the Chief Administrative Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer and the appropriate Commissioners should provide this information to the next meeting of the Audit Committee. This report should include the specific action taken or to be taken on each recommendation, as well as a time frame for implementation. Conclusions: A number of recommendations made by the City Auditor continue to be outstanding. Prior to the conduct of follow-up audits by my office, there needs to be a process in place to monitor such recommendations. The recommended action in this report will assist in the timely implementation of those issues raised by the City Auditor and approved by City Council.
