AI Summary

  • Core Issue: One employee has too much control over critical financial areas, increasing the risk of errors or fraud.
  • Impacted Requirements: This violates the principle of segregation of duties, which is essential for effective internal controls.
  • Recommended Follow-Up: Review and reassign responsibilities to ensure that no single employee manages incompatible duties.

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, inventories, receipts, disbursements, financial reporting, journal entries and the school lunch program. See finding 2022-001.
