The Cornbelt Educational Cooperative Business Manager, Pamela Selken is the contact person responsible for the corrective action plan for this finding. This finding is due to the limited number of staff employed in the Cooperative's business office. Staffing the office at an efficient and financially feasible level precludes the hiring of enough personnel to provide an ideal environment for the internal controls. The Administration and Advisory Board is aware of the weakness in internal controls and will continue to develop policies and procedures and provide compensating controls to reduce the risk. We will also communicate this concern with our Board of Directors. The Cornbelt Educational Cooperative did adopt an Internal Controls and Procedures policy on March 13th, 2018 that does address many of these issues, and would ask for consideration reflecting this implementation. This finding will be an ongoing process, requiring continued analysis of processes and procedures in order to minimize the risk.
