Function

The Internal Audit program provides both an internal and external function. The internal function evaluates the needs, adequacy and effectiveness of managerial systems and controls pertaining to financial, accounting, and business activities. They review the handling of Department receipts and funds to see that they are properly protected by accurate and efficient accounting controls, and that expenditures have been made in conformance with law and good business practice. The external function reviews to ascertain whether or not statutory or departmental requirements are being followed relating to Consultant Engineering and Utility Relocations.

The Office of Internal Auditor provides resources and pays for the department-wide federal 'Single Audit'. This audit is required to comply with regulations governing the receipt of federal-aid highway funds. Any outside performance audits of the Department are paid for with funds from the Internal Audit program.

The Office of Internal Auditor successfully completed a Peer Review conducted by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials Audit Subcommittee during 2012. This means that they are in compliance with General Accounting Office's Governmental Auditing Standards (2011 Revision).

Program: Ports of Entry

Function

The Motor Carrier Division's mission is (1) to protect and preserve Utah's highway infrastructure, (2) enhance safety (relative to commercial vehicles), and (3) facilitate commerce. This threefold mission is accomplished by ports of entry operations, carrier-based compliance reviews and vehicle/driver inspections.

Nine port of entry facilities are located throughout the state, five on interstates with entry and exit surveillance and four on intrastate primary arteries. These operations are used to monitor interstate and intrastate commercial vehicle traffic. At the ports of entry, trucks are checked for weight, proper registration or security credentials and driver/vehicle safety requirements.

In an effort to better facilitate commerce and streamline the ports of entry clearing processes, all interstate locations are equipped with automatic vehicle identification and weigh-in-motion technologies. This equipment allows pre-qualified carriers to be screened and weighed while still on the mainline. This saves significant amounts of time and minimizes traffic congestion and delays at the port facilities.

Safety investigators conduct compliance reviews at motor carriers' primary place of business. These reviews consist of a thorough review of a carrier's maintenance practices, driver files, drug and alcohol testing procedures, and overall safety fitness. These reviews are very effective educational tools, and when necessary serve as the basis for civil penalties and departmental actions (i.e., cease and desist orders, probation, permit revocation, etc).
