Council accepts fraud‑risk assessment and reviews mandatory training requirements

Nibley City Council accepted the city’s consolidated fraud‑risk assessment during the Oct. 16 meeting and reviewed mandatory training requirements for elected officials and staff.

Staff described the assessment as a routine scorecard used by the state auditor’s office and said the city has maintained strong internal controls. Council members who participated in a recent internal audit praised staff procedures and documentation and described the experience as useful. Staff reported that one of the city’s internal controls had been tightened recently after cross‑checking payment flows across multiple software systems.

Council members were shown an online training module and took a short multiple‑choice review during the meeting. Staff emphasized that acceptance of the assessment carries a responsibility for members to complete required training; certificates will be issued and uploaded after completion.

Council voted to accept the assessment and directed members to complete their training modules in the timeframe required by the state auditor’s program.
