Due to a small staff size, the Agency does not have complete segregation of duties.

Corrective Action Plan

Condition #2022-001 is a continuing condition associated with a relatively small workforce manning three rural South Carolina county offices. Management has and will continue to work diligently with our auditor to make every reasonable effort to resolve this issue. Due to the cost benefits of eliminating this condition, segregation of duties may continue to be a reportable condition. Currently management performs reviews of all aspects of the finance department including every payroll, monthly review of expenditures; and monthly review of all accounts received.
