The County Auditor’s Annual Audit Plan is formed using a risk-based approach.   In forming the risk-based plan, the Auditor’s office includes the participation of elected officials, department heads, and county staff.  

 

Our goal is to accomplish audits in a timely manner that will:

 

• Reduce risk to the County,

• Enhance the efficiency, economy and effectiveness of Will County government

• Add value and accountability to the County

The approach in developing an annual audit plan recognizes the fact that audit resources of personnel and dollars are limited, thus prohibiting one hundred percent audit coverage each year. This constraining factor is the basis and reason for developing a plan based on risk assessment. The Auditor’s office uses the plan to prioritize audits.
