Y. Chung, Council Chair <br />Members of the Hawaii County Council <br />Hawaii County Council <br />25 Aupuni Street <br />Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br />Dear Chair Chung and Council Members, <br />In accordance with Hawaii County Charter Section 3-18(d)(2), attached is the Office of the <br />Legislative Auditor's Fiscal Year 2020-2021 annual audit plan. This provision requires our <br />Office to transmit an annual audit plan to the Hawaii County Council and the Mayor. The <br />purpose of the audit plan is to identify particular agencies, departments, funds, programs, or <br />other matters we have scheduled for audit in the fiscal year. Our annual audit plan includes three <br />performance audits, three follow-up audits, and coordination of the financial statement and <br />federal single audit of the County of Hawaii with a contracted CPA firm. In addition, we will <br />consider County -wide surprise cash counts and ongoing monitoring of County -issued purchasing <br />cards and travel expenditures. <br />Our audit plan facilitates an efficient allocation of limited audit resources on a risk -basis, <br />provides a flexible mechanism for managing competing audit needs, elimates the potential <br />overlapping of audits with other audit organizations, and provides a sound foundation for <br />obtaining sufficient budgetary funds required to execute our mission. <br />The Office of the Legislative Auditor is committed to maintaining a collaborative partnership <br />with the County Council and the Mayor's Office. Furthermore, we would like to acknowledge <br />the professionalism and coorporation extended to our staff by County agencies and departments <br />in the past and we look forward to the upcoming year of audit coverage and services to the <br />County of Hawaii. <br />Hawai `i County is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer <br />
