Office of the City Auditor Monthly Audit Report - Internal Audit Reports Released from February 24, 2026, to March 23, 2026: (1) Confidential Report pursuant to Texas Government Code, § 552.139; and (2) Special Audit of Former Council Members - Carolyn King Arnold, Tennell Atkins, Omar Narvaez and Jaynie Schultz pursuant to City Charter Chapter IX, Section 4. [City Auditor]
Summary
The Office of the City Auditor has released two audit reports covering the period of February 24, 2026, to March 23, 2026. The first is a Confidential Report: Audit of Active Directory, released on March 11, 2026. This audit assessed the security architecture, configuration, and operational efficiency of the city's on-premises Active Directory, with a limited focus on Okta. Due to sensitive information, its distribution was restricted in accordance with the Texas Public Information Act, § 552.139.
The second report is a Special Audit of Former City Council Members Carolyn King Arnold, Tennell Atkins, Omar Narvaez, and Jaynie Schultz, released on February 27, 2026. This audit, mandated by City Charter Chapter IX, Section 4, evaluated whether former council members' city-funded office holder accounts were within budget, if city-owned personal property was accounted for, and if purchases were for a public purpose. The audit concluded that former council members were clear of outstanding debts. However, it noted recurring issues with the tracking and inventory of city-owned personal property and insufficient documentation to fully support expenditures, making it difficult to demonstrate the correct application of city funds. The report encourages the Mayor and City Council to develop procedures to address these ongoing risks.
