SUMMARY

Business areas assessed this year in our 2003 risk assessment project include Development, Environment, and Transportation Services; Protective Services; the Law Department; and Municipal Court.

The results of our assessment provide a “topographical map” of risk areas identified according to the risk factors we assessed. Areas rated as high risk have a greater likelihood that problems might occur that could compromise the effectiveness of service delivery or mission achievement. In addition to identifying activities with higher risk ratings, we identified cross-cutting themes that emerged through the course of our work. This information should provide focus for additional attention through audit projects or management focus.

The results of this assessment will be considered along with other input, including information on the most recent budget changes underway for FY 2004, in developing OCA’s 2004 performance plan.
