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 Winner School District Business Manager, Laura Root, is the contact person responsible for the corrective action plan for this finding. We are aware of this weakness in internal controls and continue to analyze the processes and procedures to minimize the risk to the Winner School District. Due to the size and limited funding of the Winner School District, we cannot staff at a level sufficient to provide an ideal environment for internal controls. Several procedures have been set into place to have more than one individual count cash/checks before it is receipted and deposited by the Business Manager. The district has put an internal control policy into place and will continue to analyze different policies and procedures to address this ongoing issue. I have attached a copy of our internal control policy.
