The Internal Audits Office (IAO) for the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) was established in 2007.

Internal Audits reports administratively and functionally to the Chief Deputy Director of Cal OES. When performing their functions, internal auditors have no direct operating responsibility or authority over any of the activities reviewed.

Internal Audits staff consists of experienced journey or senior level auditors. Internal Auditors provide high quality, independent and objective audit services in accordance with professional auditing standards prescribed by the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) and maintain compliance with Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards (GAGAS). GAGAS are used by government auditors to ensure competence, integrity, objectivity, and independence in planning, conducting, and reporting their work. Internal Audits ensures that each of its staff maintains the training hours required by GAGAS.

The IAO is responsible for performing internal audits on Cal OES's internal operations to ensure effective and efficient operations, compliance with state and federal rules, laws and regulations and ensuring the reliability of Cal OES's financial reports. The IAO also provides a central point of contact for all audits and reviews conducted by federal and other state agencies. This activity is coordinated through the Audit Chief position. The Audit Chief acts as a liaison between external auditors and Cal OES to ensure that appropriate Cal OES staff are notified of the audit or review, coordinates the entrance, and exit conferences, coordinates Cal OES's response to the audit findings and tracks the status of all recommendations until the reported findings have been resolved.

The IAO also investigates complaints of improper governmental activities against Cal OES employees, or any entity entrusted with grant funds administered by Cal OES, including fraud, waste, abuse, or misappropriation of state or federal funds. Strict confidentiality is maintained during an investigation. The identity of the complainant is protected, as is the reputation(s) of the individual(s) who have been accused of improper governmental activity.

In the event of an emergency, employees may be contacted and requested to report to work in the event of an emergency. This contact may be outside of your normal working hours (evenings/nights, weekends, and holidays). This service may require irregular work hours, work locations other than the official position description.
