Background Information:
The City contracted with Deloitte and Touche, LLP to perform the internal audit function in relation to the CDBG-DR funds. Deloitte has worked with staff to assess areas of risk and test the identified areas. Per HUD requirements, the results of the risk assessment must be presented at least bi-annually to the City Council; however, due to COVID the assessment was extended an additional year. No high risk items were reported. The Risk Assessment is posted to the www.smtxfloodrecovery <http://www.smtxfloodrecovery> .com website.
