About internal audit
Internal audit is an independent and objective function that helps the City of Wrenford run efficiently and stay accountable. Our team works to strengthen internal controls, manage risks, and ensure the City meets its business and financial goals. An independent audit process is a key part of transparent government.
How the process works
A team of three certified internal audit professionals carries out the City's audit program. To keep the work independent, the division reports directly to the internal audit management team, which includes the City Manager, the City Treasurer, the City Clerk, and the GM of Corporate Services. Their goal is to help City departments build practical controls that protect public funds and improve service delivery.
Types of audits
The City conducts audits and consulting work in several areas:
- Financial audit — Verifies that financial statements are accurate and follow proper reporting rules.
- Performance audit — Looks at how efficiently and effectively programs and services are running.
- Advisory services — Provides guidance to departments on policies, procedures, and internal control improvements.
Follow-up schedule
Every January and July, the internal audit team checks on open recommendations from past reports. This follow-up helps us see which actions have been completed and whether any control gaps still need attention.
