We conducted an audit of the Contractor Licensing Enforcement Section within the Building Code Services Division. Our audit objectives were to determine whether:
- Contractor licenses are issued, renewed, and enforced according to laws, policies, and best practices,
- All monies are accounted for and handled properly,
- Information technology general controls are adequate for the Public One-Stop Service System (POSSE) application, and
- Any opportunities for improvement exist.
We conclude that contractor licenses are issued, renewed, and enforced according to laws, policies, and best practices. We conclude that monies from license fees are generally accounted for and handled properly; however, citation fees and restitution payments are not. We conclude that information technology general controls are not adequate for POSSE. Our report contains a total of 35 recommendations for improvement.
We appreciate the cooperation and assistance provided by the Contractor Licensing Enforcement Section within the Building Code Services Division, and Enterprise Technology Services Divisions throughout our review process.
