Management Response – Because of the size of the office and the district, we are precluded from maintaining a proper staff size to ensure a proper segregation of duties. We are aware of this condition, and we realize that the concentration of duties and responsibilities in a limited number of individuals in not desirable for an effective system of internal control. To mitigate the issue of lack of segregation of duties, we have cross trained virtually each of the business office employees. While we do have a dedicated payroll person, another individual will perform cross checks & verifications independently. The same goes for issuing checks, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and activity funds. These functions are overseen by the business manager.
