The mission of the Special Committee on Internal Controls & Procedures is to review and analyze internal controls, policies and procedures pertaining to Board expenditures. Commissioned at the behest of the County Board Democratic Caucus, the Committee was officially established on June 10, 2008 and convened its first meeting on June 13, 2008.
Comprehensively, the Committee is charged to perform the following tasks:
- Conduct a thorough evaluation, review and analysis of current internal controls, policies and procedures pertaining to the Westchester County Board of Legislators’ expenditures;
- Research and report on prevailing “best practices” for purchasing and expenditure protocols for legislative bodies;
- Recommend specific changes to improve the current system to the full legislative body;
- Monitor the implementation of the recommended changes until the changes are in full effect;
- Identify recent issues involving Board purchasing and reimbursement of expenses to ensure that recommendations address these issues.
