AI Summary

  • Core Issue: One employee has too much control over critical areas like cash, receipts, payroll, and journal entries.
  • Impacted Requirements: This violates the principle of segregation of duties, which is essential for internal controls.
  • Recommended Follow-up: Review and redistribute responsibilities to ensure no single employee has control over 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, receipts, payroll and journal entries. See finding II-A-23.
