Finding Details

Two individuals each have the ability to create a new employee, set up and make changes to employees’ direct deposit information, change pay rates, and make journal entries to record or adjust payroll. There are certain regular reviews of payroll expense amounts in total, but there are no documented reviews of the pay rates of individual employees by someone that does not have access to perform all activities within the City’s payroll process. In addition, there were 11 employees noted in our testing for which a signed pay rate approval form for the rate in effect for the selected pay period could not be provided.
