Performance Review - Broad Scope <br /> <br />A. A broad scope performance review means an investigation addressing essential <br />County operations and major issues of governance and policy. Such investigations or <br />audits are typified by a focus on large organizations, large amounts of public funds, or <br />complex systems. As such, they are time consuming and expensive to conduct. It is <br />expected that no more than one or two broad-scope reviews would be conducted in any <br />year. Further, consultants with technical or specialized expertise must usually be <br />contracted. <br /> <br />B. A broad scope performance review shall be authorized by adoption of a Council <br />resolution, with a preliminary scope of work, assigning the engagement of a consultant, <br />management of the contract, and overall supervision of the review to the Office of the <br />Legislative Auditor. <br /> <br />C. Unless time limitations so preclude, consultants shall be selected by request for <br />proposals prepared in response to a scope of work as set forth in the Council resolution <br />and as may be further detailed. <br /> <br />D. Funding for consultant services shall be based on appropriations provided for <br />Council performance review activities. <br /> <br />VI. Performance Review - Limited Scope <br /> <br />, A. A limited scope performance review means an investigation of County operations <br />or issues which can be accomplished by existing Legislative Auditor's Office staff, <br />supplemented when needed with the limited engagement of outside consultants <br />possessing expertise not available in the Office. The limited scope review is principally <br />distinguished from the broad scope review in requiring less time and money, which is <br />made possible by its narrower subject focus. <br /> <br />3 <br />
