The Human Services Department The Human Services Department has acknowledged the issue identified regarding timesheet pre-approvals and will take immediate steps to address the issue. HSD will ensure that proxy timesheet approvers are properly assigned in cases where the primary supervisor is unavailable on the day payroll approval is due. HSD will maintain compliance with payroll policies and ensure the accuracy of timesheet approvals. Office of Housing The Office of Housing has acknowledged the finding regarding timesheet pre-approvals and will take immediate steps to address the issue. Office of Housing will ensure that proxy timesheet approvers are properly assigned in cases where the primary supervisor is unavailable on the day payroll approval is due. This adjustment will be incorporated into the previous improved practices, eliminating the need for pre-approving timesheets. By ensuring that proxy approvers are in place, the department will maintain compliance with payroll policies and ensure the accuracy of timesheet approvals. Parks and Recreation Department The Parks and Recreation Department acknowledges the finding regarding timesheet preapprovals and will ensure that proxy timesheet approvers are assigned moving forward as part of the department's ongoing commitment to improved practices. In addition, the department would like to clarify that the pre-approval noted occurred before the implementation of the current corrective action plan, which addressed the prior year's finding. The department reassures the State Auditor's Office (SAO) that the newly adopted practices, which prevent preapprovals, will continue to be strictly followed, ensuring compliance and accuracy in payroll processing, even during pay periods that coincide with holidays.

Lack of segregation of duties. Recommendation: The Center's governing board should be cognizant of the issue and provide appropriate oversight. Management should provide reasonable oversight to accounting functions including accounts payable disbursements, reconciliations, and reporting including journal entry preparation. Action taken: The Center agrees with recommendations. The Center recongizes this deficiency due to the size of the financial department and limted resources to adequately divide duties or hire enough additional staff to completely segregate duties. The Center hired an account payable staff to the team in December 2021 to assist with work load and help create better division of duties. The Center also hired a part-time employee in August 2023 to assist with financial preparation. In May 2024 Northland hired an additional part-time employee to assist with billing data analysis. This is an ongoing process.
