Findings and Recommendations 4 findings
F1
Government Code §25250 and Board of Supervisors’ Resolution 83-338 mandate that each department be audited every two years. Staffing shortages within the IAU have made it impossible to conduct internal audits and to meet those legal requirements. Numerous agencies of Riverside County have not had an internal audit for at least 6 years.
