Recommendation: The County should be aware of the inherent risks associated with improper segregation of accounting functions. The County should also develop mitigating controls to reduce the risk of errors or fraud associated with improper segregation of accounting functions. Action Taken: The County has assessed the benefits and costs associated with proper segregation of duties for all County departments and offices and has determined that cost would outweigh any benefits received. The County understands the inherent risks associated with improper segregation of accounting functions. Action has been taken to ensure timely deposits to the General Fund from the accounts held by individual departments, and County Management has communicated the need to be transparent regarding the transactions handled within these accounts. The County requires monthly reporting to the Board of Commissioners for various department officials to ensure transactions are recorded, and potential errors and irregularities are identified on a timely basis. The County will continue to review accounting procedures and processes to further mitigate this internal control deficiency whenever possible and feasible.
