City of Corpus Christi | Audit Committee June 12, 2026

The City of Corpus Christi Audit Committee convened on June 12, 2026, to discuss several audit-related matters including the appointment of an interim city auditor, budget considerations for audit functions, and challenges encountered during an ongoing audit. The committee approved the appointment of Amir Hussein as interim city auditor and authorized a search for a permanent replacement. Budget discussions included approval of a $5,000 peer review for the auditor's office, a $17,000 decision package for an intern position, and a $2,000 employee certification incentive program. A significant portion of the meeting addressed scope limitations in a current audit due to denied access to certain HR records, such as background checks and interview notes, which auditors argued were necessary for compliance with auditing standards. The committee ultimately voted to support the auditors' request for cooperation and adherence to professional standards despite some opposition. The meeting also touched on the implementation of new systems for managing park and recreation field rentals and inventory, and the committee approved follow-up audit reports related to these areas.
