Presentation on
Performance Auditor
Selection and Receive
From Council Direction
on Future Audit
Services
Recommendation
• Provide staff with direction on the performance audit services that you would like for staff to undertake
• Receive information from staff on the three audit firms that we will enter into professional service agreements (A) Government Performance & Policy Analytics, Inc. (B) Sjoberg Evashenk Consulting (C) Macias Gini & O’Connell, LLP
Background
• The Finance Department issued an RFP on July 30, 2025 for performance audit services
• The RFP focused on engaging consultants who could
provide the following:
– Audit and risk assessment services including financial, compliance, operational, investigative, or other
performance audits
– Objective and systematic examination of budget
documents, financial reports, policies, and procedures, and the municipal code of a program or function
– Applying a variety of methodologies, analysis, research, and evaluation to determine findings
Background cont’d
• Eight proposals were received that were responsive to the RFP
• Staff formed a review panel comprised of both City staff and an external expert to review
• All proposals were ranked according to their
qualifications, relationships within the proposed team, ability to provide services, and meet the requirements of the RFP , cost of services, and recent work with similar agencies to the City of Vallejo
• Following the initial ranking, the three highest ranked firms were invited to interview and present an overview of their company, services, and project team
Outcome
• The Three firms were:
– Government Performance and Policy Analytics, Inc
– Sjoberg Evashenk Consulting
– Macias Gini & O’Connell, LLP
• All three firms were deemed highly qualified. As a result, staff will contract for on-call services with all three firms as they offer slightly different subject matter focus areas.
This will allow maximum flexibility for staff to be
responsive to Council requests in the future
• Staff will contract with Government Performance & Policy Analytics, Inc. in a limited engagement to provide the
following services in preparation for the FY26-27 budget:
– Risk assessment
• Develop a rubric/methodology to assess
departments and/or programs
• conduct qualitative interviews with city leadership
• Coordinate data and provide analysis and audit plan
– Organizational Assessment/Benchmarking
• Look at staffing levels by function, expenditures by
function, and high-level indicators of service
intensity where reasonably identifiable
Next Steps
Fiscal Impact
• There is no fiscal impact as the City has already allocated $75k for the contract with GPP . Should the Council direct staff to pursue additional audit services, we will return for budget appropriation.
• Questions?
Recommendation
• Provide staff with direction on the performance audit services that you would like for staff to undertake
• Receive information from staff on the three audit firms that we will enter into professional service agreements (A) Government Performance & Policy Analytics, Inc. (B) Sjoberg Evashenk Consulting (C) Macias Gini & O’Connell, LLP
