Sponsors:Ty Elliott Indexes: Code sections: Attachments: Action ByDate Action ResultVer. Presentation, possible action, and discussion concerning the City Internal Auditor’s Bryan-College Station Convention & Visitors Bureau Audit. Recommendation(s): Audit recommendations are contained in the final section of the report. Summary: Reasons for the Audit: This audit was conducted per direction of the City of College Station Audit Committee. Also, this is the third audit of the Convention & Visitors Bureau, the first occurring in 2011 and the second in 2012. In fiscal years 2015 and 2016, the majority of outside agency Hotel Occupancy Tax funding went to the CVB. Summary of Findings: The CVB’s accounting procedures and controls have improved since the 2011 audit. This being said, the CVB also has a relatively large amount of liquid assets. In addition, certain cost analysis methods may be able to aid the CVB in better understanding project returns. The CVB’s direct impact on bringing events to the College Station and Bryan area has not significantly changed since the 2011 audit. Additionally, the CVB has the most impact on sporting events, which appear to generate larger attendee numbers. The CVB’s expenditures have increased since the 2011 audit, especially in marketing and personnel. However, some marketing efforts have been met with criticism by city leaders and officials. Also, CVB staff travel frequently within and out of state for marketing and professional development purposes, and these funds appear to be spent in areas that yield fewer results. Employee turnover at the CVB appears to be high. Furthermore, some of CVB’s strategic goals appear disconnected from their mission. Also, the DMAI Calculator could be a useful tool for internal CVB decision making, but policy makers should be skeptical if the Calculator is used to provide justification for funding requests. Finally, there may be some inherent risk with the dynamic of the College Station, TX Printed on 5/12/2016Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™ File #:16-0280,Version:1 CVB’s governance structure.
