B&Y overcharged the City a calculated $13,692 on the invoices for services during the 18-month audit period.

Although the City no longer has a contract with B&Y, the lessons learned from this audit will benefit the City with future contract compliance. City departments also need to be educated about contractual compliance by vendors and ensuring that only appropriate charges are authorized and paid by the City. In addition, allegations by user departments involving potential vendor fraud should be researched immediately, and referred to the City’s Office of Inspector General.
