Management & Performance Audits

provides audit services that utilize standard auditing practices and techniques in order to help agencies understand their business needs and current level of performance. These services are more focused on the identification of problems and the documentation of current statistical results rather than the broad assessments of business needs. The services that we provide in this area include:

Records management audits.
Internal controls.
Security.
Organizational reviews.
Financial reviews.

Our management and performance audits expertise is reflected in the following engagement list:

MTG provided an eastern state with a detailed assessment and audit of its existing information security vulnerabilities. The detailed audit scope of work was subcontracted to a leading security technology firm that conducted the assessment and provided each of the criminal justice agencies with a report on its status. MTG then incorporated the security recommendations into the development of the strategic plan for integration information systems.
The purpose of this audit was to study business functions, organization, and work flows of the Records, Evidence and Identification (REI) section of a large police department. The audit was necessitated by an increasing workload and the addition of functional requirements, while staffing remained level. Coupled with these workload factors was a considerable employee turnover rate. The primary audit work product was a needs assessment and subsequent recommendations for improvements of the REI operational environment. The assignment provided the department with specific recommendations for a phased migration toward the desired operational environment.
Our baseline audit established metrics describing the completeness, accuracy, and timeliness of criminal history information reporting for an eastern state. It involved state and local agencies (including law enforcement, prosecutors, and courts) and indicated the scope and causes of problems facing the system in its efforts to improve the state's criminal history records. These efforts produced findings and baseline statistics that describe the strengths and weaknesses of the state's criminal history record information. From these findings, five major recommendations were developed to assist the state in its future improvement efforts.

We reviewed a state corrections department's records management and data collection processes for the purposes of reducing the amount of paper and increasing the reliance upon the ever-expanding agency information system. The deliverable from this project was a definitive set of findings and recommendations for making improvements to the existing processes. These recommendations were subsequently approved by the department.
The objective of this project was to perform a statistical data quality and management audit of the state's criminal history record information program based upon a population of mandated arrests over the last 5 years. This project represented one of the most comprehensive baseline audit and needs assessments ever to be conducted in this country. The audit findings and recommendations will be included in the state's development of an improvement plan.
