Background/Issues & Analysis

The Carson City Cybersecurity Assessment was completed, and Eide Bailly, LLP will present a report and briefing regarding internal audit findings, recommendations and staff response(s).  Due to the vulnerable nature of presenting these findings and recommendations in an open meeting, detailed findings have been obfuscated, to protect City Systems.  IT Department has the detailed findings and will work to clear them, just as all audit findings are cleared and reported back to this Committee.  


Carson City Municipal Code (“CCMC”) 2.14.040 requires the Audit Committee to review and make recommendations to the Board of Supervisors regarding the annual financial audit, performance, compliance, and efficiency audits, including specific issues of concern providing a higher level of accountability over the use of public funds and the adequacy of any city department or office performance measure for internal audit purposes.
