AI Summary

  • Core Issue: One employee has too much control over critical financial areas, risking incompatible duties.
  • Impacted Requirements: This affects compliance with internal control standards for major federal programs.
  • Recommended Follow-Up: Implement proper segregation of duties to enhance internal controls and reduce risk.

Finding Text

One important aspect of the internal control structure is the segregation of duties among employees to prevent an individual employee from handling duties which are incompatible. We noted one individual has control over portions of one or more of the following areas for the District relating to major federal programs; cash, investments, inventories, receipts, disbursements, transfers, computers systems, financial reporting, journal entries and school nutrition program.
