See finding 2025-001.

Corrective Action Plan

The District acknowledges this finding. Due to the limited number of administrative and business office personnel, complete segregation of duties is not always feasible. District administration continually evaluates internal control procedures and has implemented compensating controls to reduce the risks associated with limited segregation of duties. As an additional compensating control, the Board of Directors receives and reviews a monthly internal control report that includes receipts, journal entries, manual journal entries, paid claims, and employee absence data. The Board reviews this information and documents its review through a formal sign-off process. In addition, the Board approves claims, reviews monthly financial reports, and monitors budget activity throughout the year. The District will continue to evaluate internal control procedures and implement additional compensating controls when practical to strengthen oversight and reduce the risk of errors or irregularities.
