AI Summary

  • Core Issue: One employee has too much control over critical financial areas, increasing the risk of errors or fraud.
  • Impacted Requirements: Segregation of duties is not being properly implemented, which is essential for effective internal controls.
  • Recommended Follow-Up: Review and adjust responsibilities to ensure no single employee manages incompatible duties across major 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 major federal programs; cash, receipts, disbursements, inventories, capital assets, wire transfers, payroll, financial reporting, and school lunch program. See finding 2022-001.
