This is accomplished by: 1) Reviewing and appraising the soundness, adequacy, and application of accounting, financial and other operating controls; 2) Ascertaining the extent of compliance with established policies, plans, and procedures; 3) Ascertaining the extent to which Department assets are accounted for and safeguarded from loss; 4) Ascertaining management data developed within the Department and 5) Recommending operating improvements.
