EMS: 2014 Finances Managed According to Plan; Opportunities to Improve Efficiency

December 14, 2015

We contracted with Talbot, Korvola, and Warwick (TKW) to conduct a review of the Emergency Medical Services Division’s (EMS) 2014 financial activities in August 2015. TKW did not have concerns with 2014 financial balances but did note inefficiencies in financial processing.

Audit Highlights

We found EMS managed its 2014 financial activities consistent with the council-adopted financial plan. EMS could increase financial processing efficiency by reducing the number of transactions that need manual correction.

We recommend that Emergency Medical Services Division staff reduce the number of manual transactions and report the results.
