Audit Tools
The City Auditor's Office has developed various tools, both to assist us in the course of our work and to provide the public with easy access to our findings. The following tools provide information on various topics within the City of Atlanta.
Risk Assessment:
We conducted a quantitative risk assessment (value of inherent risk inherent) of the city during 2013. Our risk assessment assigned a risk score to departments and offices within those departments based on the value of various risk elements of each. The risk assessment determined which areas are high risk and facilitated the prioritization of our annual audit plan. We developed our Risk Assessment Tool as a semi-automated means of assessing risk across departments and offices. Measured risks exist in categories that can be assigned subjective ratings. These risk ratings in turn determine the risk rank of departments and offices.
