In an audit released today, the Office of the Metro Auditor reviewed progress made on recommendations in the 2009 audit, IT Software Controls: Agency-wide approach needed to ensure data accuracy. After reviewing progress on the 2009 audit recommendations, auditors determined that one of the six recommendations from the first audit were successfully implemented. Metro has made progress on the other five.
The 2009 audit recommended strengthening Metro’s management of IT resources by clarifying roles and responsibilities, standardizing software development processes and better aligning resources.
“Although the majority of the recommendations were not yet implemented,” Metro Auditor Suzanne Flynn said, “Metro has made several improvements that should address the weaknesses we found in the original audit.”
Copies of the audit can also be obtained by calling the Office of the Metro Auditor at 503-797-1892. The Metro Auditor will brief the Metro Council on Thursday, Aug. 1.
