AI Summary

  • Core Issue: One employee has too much control over multiple incompatible duties, increasing the risk of errors or fraud.
  • Impacted Requirements: This situation violates the principle of segregation of duties, which is crucial for effective internal controls.
  • Recommended Follow-Up: Review and redistribute responsibilities to ensure proper segregation of duties across federal program 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 federal programs; cash, investments, inventories, receipts, disbursements, capital assets, payroll, wire transfers, financial reporting, computer systems, journal entries, and school nutrition program. See finding 2022-001.
