Finding Text

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Correction: The Coalition concurs with the recommendations that Missouri Coalition of Community Mental Health Centers d/b/a Missouri Behavioral Health Council and Related Entity would be best served by segregating fiscal duties as outlined above. Upon receiving this recommendation, the Coalition has worked to implement this recommendation. In addition, the Association’s Board of Directors will remain involved in the financial affairs of the Association to provide oversight and independent review functions.

Corrective Action Plan

Recommendation: Although the small size of the Coalition’s accounting staff limits the extent of segregation of duties, we believe the Board of Directors needs to remain involved in financial affairs of the Coalition.
