The Government concurs with the auditor's findings and recommendations. VIDOL concurs with the initial auditors on finding relative to the balance not reconciling with the general ledger. The underlying factor that caused the variance in this finding was related to the retrieved file for the audit, which did not cover the period of the review, thus the balances provided to the auditors would not reconcile with the source system and the Government ledger. To avoid future occurrences, VIDOL has updated the source system report writer that produces query on balances for accounting and tracking ledger balances. VIDOL has also recently issued a request for a proposal to have a contractor assist in installing a Trust Fund accounting system infrastructure and procedures. This system is anticipated to correct many accounting deficiencies and improve operations. Based on the project plan the launch timeline is anticipated by third quarter of 2026. Once this system is operational, adequate personnel are hired and trained, postings and ledger balance should allow for more accurate data on account balances. This system will also provide a structure wherein accrual, month end, and year end system closes can occur.
