This is to procure a comprehensive Management Review Audit with the Georgia Municipal Association (GMA) in the amount of $96,913 to strengthen the City’s delivery of revenue-related services. The objective of this audit is to identify the core strengths and areas for improvement within the City’s revenue-related functions.

The services being reviewed are: The City Treasury, Property Tax, Business Licensing, Alcohol Licensing, Alcohol Beverage Compliance and Enforcement, and Utility Billing . The review will be conducted in the following key phases:

 

  1. Customer Service and Stakeholder Engagement
  2. Compliance and Legal Framework, Methods and Procedures
