New regulations, requirements, and procedures, including best practices models have been implemented to ensure that County tax dollars will be managed in a way that is in the best interest of the citizens of Buncombe.
Here’s some of the steps we’ve taken…
- Strengthened the Audit Committee’s Charter and Bylaws & membership
- Clarified the reporting line of Internal Auditor with access to the Board
- Ensured the Internal Auditor cannot be hired, fired or disciplined without consultation with the Audit Committee
- Gives the Audit Committee the responsibility of approving the annual Internal Audit Plan and reporting annually to the County Board
- Instructed employees that everyone has a responsibility to ensure good controls and practices are followed (COSO standard)
- Establishes the Internal Auditor as the central point for all Whistle-blower complaints
