AI Summary

  • Core Issue: One employee has control over multiple incompatible duties, risking internal control weaknesses.
  • Impacted Requirements: Segregation of duties is not being properly implemented, affecting compliance with federal program standards.
  • Recommended Follow-up: Review and redistribute responsibilities to ensure proper segregation of duties across all key areas.

Finding Text

One important aspect of the internal control structure is the segregation of duties among employees to prevent an individual employee from handling duties which are incompatible. We noted one individual has control over portions of one or more of the following areas for the District relating to major federal programs; cash, investments, inventories, receipts, disbursements, capital assets, payroll, computer systems, journal entries and the school nutrition program.
