Audit Finding Reference: 2023-003 Improve Controls and Documentation over Payroll Process Planned Corrective Action: Beginning with the first payroll of the calendar year 2024, the Portland Public School District went to the ADP payroll system. This change in payroll ERP system allowed for the overhaul of the payroll process that was currently in place. The Executive Director of Finance worked with ADP to ensure that permissions for both the Human Resources and the Payroll teams were specifically set up so that they did not have access to each other’s processes. The HR generalists have been trained to process the information that once was processed by payroll personnel. Furthermore, access is not managed by staff but by a department head to ensure that proper access for individuals is maintained. Proper documentation of time and attendance is maintained in payroll and electronically filed with each payroll period in an organized manner. The Executive Director of Finance is always looking for continuous improvements for proper documentation in payroll.
