Critical/Strategic Planning Initiatives
The Auditor-Controller advocates for fiscal responsibility and
service excellence through various initiatives, including:
■ Ensuring public trust in County government by implementing
the Board-approved annual audit plan and conducting
investigations of fraud and malfeasance;
■ Working with the Chief Executive Office (CEO) to fully fund
compliance audits and to identify a new method for
recovering costs for investigative services, and enhancing
service delivery by ensuring that such services can be
provided in a manner consistent with government and
accounting industry standards and best practices for audit
independence;
■ Ongoing implementation of eCAPS (procurement, cost
accounting inventory control modules) and the Advantage
eHR suite of applications to centralize and consolidate the
County’s financial management, reporting, human resources,
