Finding Text

Finding No.: 2024-001 Criteria A fundamental concept of a strong payroll control environment is the proper approval and retention of employee wage rates and contracts. Documentation should be retained for all pay rate changes noting the date of change and the approval for the change. Conditions Found During our audit, we noted two employees who lacked appropriate pay rate support for their wage rates in effect for the year ended September 30, 2024. Cause The Organization is not adhering to their review and approval process and retention of pay rate support. Effect The SEFA and financial statements could be inaccurately presented.
