Finding 393826 (2022-002)

The District reviews this audit finding internally on an annual basis, identifying control procedures and processes that would leverage movement toward the maximum internal control possible with available staffing. The District does recognize this is difficult with a limited number of employees. We will continue to review our procedures to best meet the needs of the District as well as have internal control in place. We will work on dividing out duties and responsibilities so no one person is handling all cash, receipts, and financial transactions without checks & balance in place. A Business Office employee will collect cash and count, and another person will create the deposit slip, with a 3rd person (front office secretary) taking the actual deposit to the bank. Then the Business office employee will be the one responsible for entering the cash receipt into Software.
