Overview

The Internal Audit Department has completed an audit of oversight controls and contract compliance related to Segment 3 of the Interstate 5 High-Occupancy Vehicle Improvement Project. Based on the audit, consultants were procured in compliance with policy; however, some concerns were identified related to amendment processing. Also, invoices were generally paid in compliance with contract terms; however, one consultant was paid more than the contractually allowed amount for a specified task. Finally, a written Project Management Plan outlining the scope of work, constraints, and technical requirements of the project, was not prepared as required.
