Finding Text

A material weakness in internal controls was noted due to a lack of proper segregation of duties for revenues which affect the reporting compliance requirement category.

Corrective Action Plan

The South Central Cooperative Direcctor, Kristi Hilzendeger, is the contact person responsible for the corrective action plan for this finding. This finding is due to the size of the South Central Cooperative, which precludes staffing at a level sufficient to provide an ideal environment for internal controls. The Cooperative has developed policies to help monitor the lack of segregatin of duties, but due to the size of the Cooperative it is not feasible, or fiscally responsible to implement anything else at this time. The Cooperative will continue to follow the controls currently in place.
