A. Audit Report 18-02: Great Plains Zoo and Delbridge Museum by Shana Nelson,
Internal Audit Manager
Presentation: Approximately 10 minutes followed by discussion
Nelson noted that the report was presented to the Audit Committee at its most
recent meeting of April 22, 2019. She provided an introduction, background,
objectives, and scope and methodology of the audit. Audit results covered: Great
Plains Zoo Contract Compliance; City Internal Controls over Contract Compliance;
City Fixed Assets; Cash Receipts and Disbursements; and, Operational and
Program Performance Trends. A resulting recommendation was that the Great
Plains Zoo management add a policy and procedure to their Financial Procedure
Manual that addresses their purchasing card program. Purchasing cards should
have specific policies and procedures documented to provide direction and
guidance to all employees who use a company purchasing card. The
recommendation was implemented by Zoo management in mid-February, 2019.
The audit concluded that The Great Plains Zoo and Delbridge Museum is in
compliance with the management agreement and that the City has established
controls to monitor the compliance of the management agreement.
