AI Summary

  • Core Issue: One employee has too much control over multiple financial areas, risking incompatible duties.
  • Impacted Requirements: Segregation of duties is not being properly enforced, which is crucial for internal controls.
  • Recommended Follow-Up: Review and redistribute responsibilities to ensure proper segregation of duties across federal program 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 federal programs: cash, investments, receipts, disbursements, payroll, financial reporting, School lunch program and journal entries. See finding 2022-001.

Corrective Action Plan

We continue to look for ways to improve our internal controls.
