Milwaukee County Board Adopts Supervisor Vincents Resolution to Audit Employee Benefits Contracts
MILWAUKEE – The Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors adopted legislation requesting an audit of recent employee benefits contracts to strengthen oversight, improve compliance, and protect County finances. The resolution, authored by Supervisor Kathleen Vincent and co-sponsored by Supervisors Eckblad, Rolland, Taylor (District 17), Shea, and Logsdon, directs the Office of the Comptroller’s Audit Services Division to review contracting practices within the Department of Human Resources Total Rewards Division.
The audit will evaluate how recent employee benefits contracts were developed, negotiated, and administered, with a focus on adherence to County requirements, timelines, and established procurement processes. The review will also assess internal controls and identify opportunities to strengthen oversight and accountability across future contracts.
“Milwaukee County employees and retirees depend on reliable, well-managed benefits, and it is our responsibility to ensure those systems are functioning with integrity and accountability,” said Supervisor Kathleen Vincent. “In light of recent events, this audit will help us strengthen oversight, close gaps, and protect both our workforce and taxpayers from unnecessary risk.”
The resolution will now be implemented through the Office of the Comptroller’s Audit Services Division, which will conduct the audit and report its findings and recommendations to the County Board.
