We found the peer review process to be insightful, value added, and rewarding. I am pleased that the independent peer review team concluded that the Office of the Legislative Auditor's internal control system was suitably designed and operating effectively to provide reasonable assurance of compliance with Government Auditing Standards for the period of July 1, 2012, through June 30, 2016. We will share your results with our Hawai'i County Council and make it available to the public on our website. We are also pleased the peer review team found that: • The office focuses on continuous improvement which has led to an updated policy manual, more thorough workpaper documentation and fully implementation of all the recommendations received during their last peer review in 2013. • The office performs audits that are impactful to the organization and the community. • The office has successfully undergone its second peer review even with a transition in leadership that could have impacted their ability to do so.
