AI Summary

  • Issue: The Organization still lacks a Compliance Officer, which hampers oversight and issue resolution.
  • Trend: Previous findings highlighted this gap, indicating ongoing challenges in financial reporting.
  • Recommendation: Appoint a Compliance Officer to strengthen oversight, ensure policy adherence, and improve internal controls.

Finding Text

As noted in prior year findings, the Organization has not yet appointed a Compliance Officer. The absence of this position has resulted in missed opportunities for more effective oversight and timely resolution of recurring issues noted in the financial reporting process. While financial processes and controls have been strengthened, the establishment of a Compliance Officer would provide additional oversight, ensuring more consistent adherence to policies, improved monitoring of financial reporting, and enhanced internal controls.

Corrective Action Plan

Management recognizes the recurring nature of this issue and understands the value of appointing a Compliance Officer.
