Title
Status of Coach Operator Health Insurance Benefits Audit
Overview
The Internal Audit Department is unable to conduct a planned audit of Coach Operator Health Insurance Benefits. The purpose of the audit was to determine whether monies paid by the Orange County Transportation Authority are used in compliance with Article 40 of the Coach Operator Agreement with Teamsters Local 952 and to determine compliance with the Affordable Care Act regarding waiting period limitations. To date, attempts to access records required for audit have been unsuccessful.
Recommendation(s)
A. Suspend the planned audit of Coach Operator Health and Insurance Benefits Audit pending upcoming negotiations with Teamsters Local 952.
B. Direct staff to work with Teamsters Local 952 to amend language and requirements in Article 40: Health and Insurance Benefits, to ensure audit provisions extend to the contracted administrators.
