Closing Processes Program: All Programs Criteria or Specific Requirement: The Museum is required to maintain adequate controls over financial reporting, Condition: During the year staff changes prevented the timely billings, closing and reconciliation of the accounting records.

Effect: The lack of a regular billing, closing and reconciliation of the financial records increases the possibility that intentional or unintentional errors could be made and not detected. Questioned Costs: There were no questioned costs. View of the responsible official and planned corrective action: The Museum agrees with the finding and will adhere to the corrective action plan show on page 29.
