2 |  A u d i t o f C o n t r a c t N o . 2 0 1 7 ‐ 1 9 9  N o v e m b e r 2 0 1 8 Executive Summary As part of the Annual Audit Plan, the Clerk of Circuit Court and County Comptroller’s  Internal  Audit Department and Office of the Inspector General  conducted an independent audit of  Contract No. 2017‐199 Custodial Services for Park Facilities  (Agreement). The purpose of the  audit was to evaluate the effectiveness of processes used by the Parks, Recreation and Natural  Resources (PRNR) Department to monitor for compliance with the terms of the contract.  The audit detected non‐compliance with the following contractual stipulations:    Employment screenings,   Product requirements,   Insurance requirements,   Utility vehicle training,   Key inventory,   Invoicing, and   Contract Amendments.  Lack of monitoring to ensure compliance with contractually mandated employment screenings,  insurance and product requirements, utility service vehicle training, and key inventory could  result in a higher level of reputational and public relations risk.  Additionally, non‐compliance  with the contractual stipulation requiring a formal amendment for any added or increased  services, permanent or temporary, could result in the County paying higher rates for services.
