Management is cognizant of the District?s internal control structure and continues to evaluate cost effective opportunities to further improve segregation of duties. The District has strengthened the internal control structure in recent years by revising the roles and responsibilities of multiple positions within the accounting department. The District continues to identify and implement effective mitigating controls when possible. Current District procedures in both the accounts payable and payroll functions include one position that is primarily responsible for transaction processing and require that a second individual review and approve transactions. As a result of these procedures, the Finance Manager has less responsibility with daily functions which enables the position to provide additional secondary review and oversight both in the financial areas of accounts payable, accounts receivable, and in the payroll/HR areas. Name of responsible official: Michelle Lillibridge, Business Services Director Expected Completion Date: Ongoing, no formal expected completion date
