Chapter 1 Introduction Objective Did the Department of Human Resources implement the 2017 hiring practices audit recommendations? Scope The prior audit evaluated hiring practices from January 2016 to September 2017. The follow-up audit evaluated hiring practices from October 2017 to January 2022. In addition, we reviewed recruitments identified in the original audit scope including Department of Public Work's Laborer II, Department of Finance's Clerk III, Department of Parks and Recreation's Park Caretaker I, and the Department of Environmental Management's Scale Attendant. This follow-up audit was limited to reviewing and reporting on the implementation of the recommendations. We did not consider new or previous issues that did not relate to our original recommendations. Methodology To verify the Department of Human Resources implemented the 2017 hiring practices recommendations, we: • Corroborated information with appropriate staff to follow-up on the responses to audit recommendations • Reviewed applicable laws and other relevant governance • Performed tests of internal controls and transactions over the recruitment process • Conducted site visit to verify monitoring and oversight practices • Was mindful of potential fraud, waste, and abuse during the audit • Noted exceptions and identified areas for improvement We conducted this performance audit in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain sufficient, appropriate evidence to provide a reasonable basis for our findings and conclusions based on our audit objectives. We believe the evidence obtained provides a reasonable basis for our findings and conclusions based on our audit objectives. Our conclusions on the effectiveness of these controls are detailed within this report. Introduction 1 4
