FINDING NO 2023-001 Significant deficiency in Internal Control Over Compliance – Improve Control and Documentation over Procurement Detail of Finding and Planned Corrective Action Plan During the single audit it was discovered that a summary of bid quotes for one of the items selected for procurement testing was not available. The project selected had initially begun in FY2017 before the Town implemented its procurement tracking system. The individual in charge of the project had resigned and although the Technology Department tried to do a search of the employee’s email, the documentation was not found. The Town maintains an online procurement folder (by fiscal year) available to all departments to store all procurement information by project. The Town views this particular finding as an unfortunate exception to the procedures and policies that it has put into place to procure everything properly during FY2020. The Town will continue to follow all procurement guidelines and store all procurement documentation in a centralized location so that this finding does not happen again. Contact Dan O’Donnell – Finance Director Jesse Beyer – Town Accountant Completion Date (expected) These procedures and policies mentioned above related to procurement are expected to be implemented before the completion of June 30, 2024.

The following procedures are in place (or are being implemented) to improve performance in the HR/Payroll Department: I.

Effective date of the change b. Agreements/Contracts will be issued to staff members for their signature. c. Payroll receives the personnel document after board approval.

Agreements/Contracts for Staff Members: a. Agreements/contracts will be created for each staff member to obtain staff member signature after board approval. b. Agreements will be placed in the staff members’ files. c. Agreements will include: i. Employee name ii. New position/title iii. Site relocation (if applicable), iv. Rate of pay v. Effective date. vi. Employee signature and date d. Tracking of these agreements will occur using onboarding and transfer agreement spreadsheets. III. Communications a. Payroll and HR staff will meet weekly to clarify hiring/payroll issues as they arise. b. A documented flow of information; forms initiated by HR will be shared with payroll to ensure clarity of intent. IV. Flexibility and Amendments: a. As the process continues, certain points will be amended or adjusted to improve the efficiency of tracking employee status changes. V. Training a. HR and Payroll Staff received training last year regarding the use of HR and payroll software and will receive updated training in the 2024‐2025 school year. The District will reimplement (it had been used prior to 2022, but was discontinued) a more thorough use of payroll software in spring of 2025 to increase efficiency and accuracy. b.
