Question 8 An audit of the Motor Pool Division of the ABC Department of Administration found the Motor Pool can save $1.6 million by delaying new vehicle purchases and reducing its fleet by 73 low-use vehicles assigned to state agencies. It listed at least 10 recommendations to improve the Division's internal controls. The audit focused on fiscal years 2019 and 2020. Some principal findings of the report were: 1) 22% of assigned vehicles did not meet minimum use requirements, and management did not actively monitor low-use vehicles and reassign them if necessary, as mandated by state policy. 2) Preventive maintenance was not timely for 30% (85 of 279) of vehicles requiring services. 3) A revised vehicle replacement policy did not include a cost analysis, which could result in cost savings. 4) The initial cost premium paid for hybrid vehicles was not recovered because of low use and relatively low gasoline prices before the vehicles were retired. The Motor Pool has 40 hybrid vehicles, with total cost of about $870,000.5) Monthly fuel card billings were not adequately monitored for improper use. A review of four months' billing statements found 16 vehicles should be investigated for improper fuel card use. Recurring fuel theft for one vehicle was not identified or investigated in a timely manner. 6) Motor Pool staff did not document all required reviews of purchase card transactions for vehicle repairs and maintenance to ensure that purchased goods were reasonable and relevant to the repair. The audit report has identified at least 10 actions to be taken to improve operations. Based on some of the findings mentioned above, list and describe five (5) of the recommended actions you as a Fleet Manager would agree to implement and why. Be sure to describe the recommended action and be sure to explain why you would agree to implement it
