The purpose of the audit was to evaluate <br />the County of Hawai'i's management of IT assets including hardware lifecycle management and software licensing <br />management. Accuity LLP conducted this audit in accordance with Generally Accepted Government Auditing <br />Standards on our behalf. <br />The Department of Information Technology (DIT) follows several IT asset management industry best practices. <br />However, to fully meet industry best practices, the DIT should own all IT assets. hi addition, an IT asset <br />management role should be established to manage the County's IT assets. These are key elements to successful <br />management of IT assets and without these two elements, the County is at an increased risk of security concerns, <br />system instability, helpdesk and County employee inefficiencies, as well as increased hardware and software costs. <br />If you need any further information, please let me know. We would like to thank the Department of Information <br />Technology and Finance Department staff for their assistance and cooperation during this audit. We greatly <br />appreciate all of their valuable time and efforts spent on providing us information. <br />Respectfully, <br />Bonnie S. Nims, CGAP <br />Legislative Auditor <br />cc: William P.
