The scope of internal audit has been established by the county as areas which may have a direct impact to the county-approved budget. Additional operations can be included at the request of elected officials.

If a potential auditable area is reasonably expected to result in review of issues that could reflect a mismanagement of appropriated funds, the area would be deemed within the scope of the internal audit function.

If a potential auditable area is reasonably expected to result in exclusively operational-type issues that would not reflect a mismanagement of appropriated funds, the area would be deemed outside the scope of the internal audit function.
