Summary

In our opinion, the quality assurance program related to the Office of Inspector General’s internal audit activity, as designed and implemented during the review period July 2007 through June 2008, provided reasonable assurance of conformance to applicable professional auditing standards.  Also, the Office of Inspector General generally complied with those provisions of Section 20.055, Florida Statutes, governing the operation of State agencies’ offices of inspectors general and internal audit activities.

While not material to overall conformance to professional auditing standards, the internal audit activity can improve its audit management and work processes by properly reporting auditing standards followed in conducting audits and by performing risk assessments of information systems controls.

Management's response is included as Exhibit A.
