Self-Assessment Checklist for Best Business Practices
Internal Board Audit (IBA) wants to reinforce good internal controls within all departments. As a tool, a self-assessment checklist has been created to help District departments stay current in various best practices. We encourage all District departments to self-assess their business practices and reach-out to IBA if any questions or concerns arise while evaluating practices. Not all items on the checklist will be practiced in all departments.
This tool gives a basic overview of important controls in the areas of:
General Control Environment;
Budget Management;
General Expenditures and Procurement;
Cash Handling; Change and Petty Cash Funds;
Public Safety, Emergency Planning and Business Continuity;
Human Resources and Payroll;
Information Technology Management;
Miscellaneous Department Operations;
Administration of Grants; and
Safeguarding of Assets.
