The Audit Committee and the Office of Financial & Program Audit (OFPA) were created by the Board of Supervisors, pursuant to Virginia Code §15.2-825. The Audit Committee consists of six members- four Supervisors of the Board and two county residents. Working under the guidance and direction of the Audit Committee, OFPA provides an independent means for determining the manner in which operations, programs, and resources authorized by the Board of Supervisors (BOS) are deployed by management, and whether they are consistent with the intent of the Board and operating effectively and efficiently.

What We Do

OFPA designs and conducts reviews, studies, and evaluations of county agencies as assigned by the BOS or the Audit Committee. OFPA activities can vary from a simple inquiry, a program study, or long-term monitoring. We present the results of our work in reports that offer recommendations to increase county revenues, reduce county expenditures, or otherwise improve the efficiency and effectiveness of county resources. Results and recommendations are based on our analysis of county data and other information and may not identify every risk, process gap, revenue enhancement, or expense reduction.

Our Goals

• Review the effectiveness and efficiency of programs and operations of county departments, agencies, and authorities.
• Identify cost savings and additional financial resources, as appropriate.
• Recommend ways to improve, promote, and increase accountability.
