AI Summary

  • Core Issue: An employee has too much control over critical financial areas, risking incompatible duties.
  • Impacted Requirements: This violates the principle of segregation of duties, essential for effective internal controls.
  • Recommended Follow-Up: Review and adjust roles to ensure proper segregation of duties across cash, investments, and other 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 major federal programs: cash, investments, receipts, manual journal entries and computer systems. See finding 2022-001.
