Observations emailed to Cincinnati’s Internal Audit Manager 12.26.24

 

 

Basically, “Citizen Watchdog” is an ongoing examination of  the “oversight environment” concerning Cincinnati government. How is the city ensuring the effectiveness and efficiency of the city’s administration? What is the city doing to prevent and detect fraud, waste and abuse with respect to the city’s programs and operations? That is what this Citizen Watchdog project is all about.

As an early step, I examined the city’s internal audit operation. I discus the results of my examination in Episode 7 of the podcast. I was not encouraged. I decided to write a letter to the Internal Audit Manager with my observations. I offered to meet with her and discuss my observations but I have not heard back from her.

I also applied for a position on the city’s “Internal Audit Committee.” It is a mayoral appointment. I did not hear back about that either. The whole thing was kind of disappointing.
