Audit of the Department of Innovation and Technology’s Management of Information Technology Investments
OIG evaluated the Department of Innovation and Technology’s (DoIT) management of the City’s investment in information technology. DoIT is responsible for ensuring that the City’s technology infrastructure meets the needs of City departments and residents. Effective management of an IT portfolio requires consistent and repeatable organizational processes. We determined that DoIT did not consistently adhere to best practices for project selection, which increased the risk of projects delivering fewer benefits, costing more, and/or taking longer than expected to complete. In addition, DoIT’s data collection practices hamper effective monitoring and evaluation of project and portfolio performance, thereby limiting the Department’s ability to identify opportunities for improvement.

Department of Administrative Services, Recommendation Follow-up: While Further Action Is Needed, Several Statewide Internal Audit Improvements Have Been Made
OIG conducted an audit of the Chicago Low-Income Housing Trust Fund’s management of housing quality inspections (HQS) for units participating in the Rental Subsidy Program (RSP) in 2017. OIG concluded that the Trust Fund did not ensure that all properties participating in the RSP met its standards for safe, sound, and secure housing in 2017. Specifically, 45.8% of RSP properties did not meet minimum HQS standards, and 61.4% did not meet Chicago Building Code requirements. The Trust Fund overpaid $30,703 to at least six properties in 2017 and $6,120 to at least one in 2018. In addition, the Trust Fund did not maintain complete documentation of known lead hazards, City Building Code violations, and local court action against subsidized properties. Finally, OIG found that the Trust Fund could not accurately gauge the amount of funding it had allotted to RSP properties, and published inaccurate and incomplete quarterly reports from 2014 through 2018. It under-reported its total funding commitments by $295,680 in 2017 alone.
