Performance Audits:

• Grants Management - Johnson County is managing nearly $195 million in active federal and state grants in addition to recent COVID grants. Audit Services followed up on the recommendations to County Management from the 2010 Grants Management and 2012 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Assurance audits to determine if actions have been taken to improve oversight of grants management based on the implementation of recommendations from these audits. We found FMA Management has fully implemented all the recommendations as intended. The county now has a central oversight function reviewing department/office/agency management, accounting and reporting of grants, to ensure internal controls are in place and grants are managed in compliance with federal, state and county requirements.

Performance Audits:

• Succession and Transition Planning - Audit Services conducted a performance audit, which found a written framework for succession and transition planning would help the county avoid disruptions when employees leave.
   
• Johnson County Library - Audit Services completed a performance audit of the Johnson County Library’s Pillars of Performance & Development (PPD) processes to determine if the County’s performance management and development coaching system was working as intended for the Library employees. We found that County guidance is sufficient for employees to implement the processes effectively and follows industry recommendations for implementing effective performance management systems. We surveyed Library employees and their responses confirmed the process is collaborative, positive, focuses on future goals and plans, and provides sufficient feedback.
