Denver International Airport fully implemented one recommendation made in the original audit report, but three others have yet to be fully implemented or acted upon. Therefore, lingering risks remain.
Recommendations implemented from the Airport Improvement Grants Program Follow-Up Report. One was implemented, one was partially implemented, zero were not implemented, and two were disagreements from the original report and audit teams did not follow up.
May 6, 2021 In keeping with generally accepted government auditing standards and Auditor’s Office policy, as authorized by city ordinance, the Audit Services Division has a responsibility to monitor and follow up on audit recommendations to ensure city agencies address audit findings through appropriate corrective action and to aid us in planning future audits. In our follow-up effort for the “Airport Improvement Program Grants” audit report issued in September 2019, we determined Denver International Airport partially implemented one and fully implemented another of the two recommendations it agreed to in the original audit report. Although airport personnel disagreed with two other recommendations, we learned they did take some action to address the concerns. However, despite the airport’s efforts, auditors determined the risks associated with the audit team’s initial findings have not been fully mitigated. As a result, the Audit Services Division may revisit these risk areas in future audits to ensure the city takes appropriate corrective action. The Highlights page in this report provides background and summary information about the original audit and the completed follow-up effort. Following the Highlights page is a detailed implementation status update for each recommendation. I would like to express our sincere appreciation to the personnel at Denver International Airport who assisted us throughout the audit and the follow-up process.
