Title
California State Auditor Report: Judicial Branch Procurement (Action Required)
body
Summary
On December 10, 2015, the California State Auditor released a performance audit report entitled Judicial Branch Procurement: Although the Judicial Council Needs to Strengthen Controls Over Its Information Systems, Its Procurement Practices Generally Comply With Applicable Requirements. The audit was required by Public Contract Code section 19210 to assess the implementation of the California Judicial Branch Contract Law. The report contained two recommendations and identified no new issues concerning procurement documentation, internal controls, and payments. This result represents progress over the last audit, in 2013. With respect to information security controls, the report indicated that the judicial branch still needs to continue to enhance and build on the policies and procedures previously approved and currently being implemented. The Administrative Director’s responses to the two recommendations were included in the report.
