AI Summary

  • Core Issue: One employee has too much control over critical financial areas, risking incompatible duties.
  • Impacted Requirements: This affects compliance with internal control standards for major federal programs.
  • Recommended Follow-Up: Implement proper segregation of duties to enhance oversight and reduce risk.

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, disbursements, inventories, payroll, receipts, financial reporting, school nutrition program and journal entries. See finding 2022-001

Corrective Action Plan

The District continues to review internal controls and will make changes where appropriate.
