November 8, 2023

 

In accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards and the policy of the Auditor’s Office, as authorized by Utah Code, we continue our responsibility to monitor and follow up on audit recommendations to ensure county agencies address audit findings through appropriate corrective action and to aid us in planning future audits.

 

This letter serves as the follow-up report for the Salt Lake County Recorder’s Office, subsequent to the original audit report issued in December 2022. At that time, the audit identified 12 findings with 34 recommendations.

 

As detailed in the follow-up, the Recorder’s Office has fully implemented 21 of the 34 recommendations, with 2 recommendations currently in progress and 11 recommendations closed. This demonstrates a considerable effort on the part of the Recorder’s Office to address the concerns raised in the initial audit.

 

While substantial progress has been made, it is essential to continue efforts to fully implement all outstanding recommendations. We have scheduled an additional follow-up for March 2024 to ensure that continuous improvement is achieved and maintained.

 

We appreciate the cooperation and assistance provided by the Recorder’s Office and all county stakeholders during this audit process. For detailed findings and recommendations, please refer to the enclosed follow-up audit report. Should you have any questions or require further discussion, please do not hesitate to contact me at 385-468-7200.
