The Daily Journal is reporting on a County audit by Accenture of its operations
Of its $1.8 billion budget, the county spends approximately $228.5 million for goods and services across departments. Accenture’s savings were estimated from centralizing purchasing and reducing the costs of these goods and services. Other savings could come from bulk purchasing with cities although none have shown any specific interest, Jensen said.
The findings of the study indicate potential savings of a half a percent...we better keep looking
But the possibility of saving anywhere from $4.21 million to $8.24 million is nothing to sniff at and Jensen said she and fellow Deputy County Manager Reyna Farrales are currently working with Accenture to see what recommendation might be put into practice.
