No Action(s) have been added to this Agenda Item.
Discussion:
The audit report is attached. I will have hard copies of the complete audit if you want a copy.
The findings are the same as in the past. We have a significant deficiency with segregation of duties. The finding states that we do not have a large enough staff for adequate segregation of duties to ensure internal control over cash receipts, disbursements and recording of transactions. This has been in our audit for a number of years. We did have to do a separate single audit due to the amount of federal funds we applied for and received. |
