Non-Audit Services In addition to the audits and ongoing risk assessment, the IAD has also been requested to provide non-audit services by its Audit Committee and various County officeholders, departments, courts, boards, and agencies. IAD worked closely with the blue ribbon committee to perform the CSB Performance Audit Review. The Audit Committee, Criminal Justice Advisory Board (CJAB), and Luminosity requested IAD’s assistance on matters related to the Jail Overcrowding project. CJAB also asked IAD to work on the workflow and state reimbursement issues for the Public Defender’s Office Indigent Defense fund. IAD performed a third party billing audit of Medical Mutual of Ohio, upon request of the Insurance & Risk Management Department. The Human Resource Commission solicited assistance with the rewrite of Section 169 of the Summit County Codified Ordinances as well as a review of the FMLA process and the Leave Donation programs. IAD assisted the Department of Development with compliance matters. MRDD requested a review of some of its fiscal processes. The IT Advisory Board and the Audit Committee asked IAD to review the requests for proposals and responses, as well as attend meetings and vendor presentations for the Jail Management System, Case Management System, and Wide Area Network project. IAD worked with CJAB and members of the criminal justice system on the Countywide property and evidence initiative. The Office of Finance and Budget requested that IAD work with the Procurement Card Program team on its design, implementation, and testing. IAD worked with the IT Advisory Board and the Emergency Management Agency on the Countywide business continuity/disaster recovery initiative. In addition to its non-audit services, IAD brings value-added services to each audit the department performs. IAD works with each auditee’s staff to provide recommendations on internal controls, segregation of duties, cash handling, human resources, compliance, security or any other vulnerable areas the auditors observe or that management relates. As you can see, opportunities where IAD’s expertise has been requested are many and varied. It is IAD’s mission and goal to assist County entities in any manner to bring best business practices to all levels of County government to give the taxpayers of the County the best services for their tax dollar.
