Fund accounting in public organizations is usually used for tracking the flow of resources in and out of the organization. I would want to review the resources being used to reduce these violations and if money is ultimately being saved due to the departments increased resources and efforts.
It is important to review this data to make sure the department is not spending too much of its resource on this violation with no beneficial results.
When it comes to handling resources, collecting revenues and spending money are two processed that are distinct. Revenues are typically collected from taxes, payments, or contributions. As an auditor, I would want to analyze the money coming in is the same money going towards reducing intoxicated driver violations.
When auditing a organizations documents, it is our responsibility to assure the finances are being handled properly. The audit that I best believe is appropriate would be external auditors. External auditors undertake optional or required audits. They decide on the scope of the audit, meaning, they refer to examined questions and the range of information. External audits aim is towards the whole organization and broader questions. This is the best choice because this will help allow audits to get to the result of the ultimate use and need for the grant. What makes the organization sure this grant will help reduce this violation? What are the common trends of this violation? Have all other options and solutions been considered?
Based on your peers discussion post above answer the following:
Critically examine the postings of your peers. Is there additional information and data that may be useful in this audit? Provide additional insight to support or refute their selection of a type of audit.
