We identified a significant deficiency related to the Organization’s controls over cash disbursements. Specifically, not all cash disbursements maintained the required supporting documentation and documented approval. Criteria: Proper internal control calls for every expenditure to show some evidence that it was approved prior to preparing the check and that invoices are present to support expenditures. Effect: The lack of these controls increases the risk of unauthorized or improper transactions, which could result in financial misstatements or misappropriation of assets. Recommendation: We recommend that the Organization obtain invoices or receipts for all disbursements and that all disbursements get initialed by a member of management to show evidence of approval. Response: The Organization is in agreement with the finding and has implemented new bill paying procedures that they will continue in 2025.

We identified a significant deficiency related to the Organization’s segregation of duties. Specifically, the accounting department lacked proper segregation of duties in key areas, including accounting, banking procedures, and cash disbursements, increasing the risk of errors and unauthorized transactions. Criteria: An important element of internal accounting controls is an adequate segregation of duties such that no individual has the responsibility to execute a transaction, possess access to the related assets, and have responsibility or authority to record the transaction. Effect: A lack of segregation of duties subjects the Organization to a higher risk that errors or fraud could occur and not be detected in a timely manner in the normal course of business. Recommendation: We recommend that the Organization develop new written accounting procedures that include proper segregation of duties in the accounting department. Response: The Organization is in agreement with the finding and will review responsibilities during the 2025 year to determine and allow for sufficient segregation of duties.
