Reform 1.8: Recovery Auditing Program

Implement Recovery Auditing Program

Other Information:

City government processes millions annually in accounts payable. Some of the accounts payable over-charge the city government. Recovery auditing is the post-payment review of accounts payable with the goal of identifying overpayments and recovering funds. In the private sector the use of recovery auditing programs is widespread – and increasingly government agencies are adopting this auditing program. By the beginning of FY 2012, the City of San Diego should partner with an outside firm to implement recovery auditing on its top 10 payable categories (including information technology, health care, communications, utilities, real estate, etc.)
