2024-101: Significant Deficiency in Internal Controls Over Compliance and Noncompliance Required to be Reported in Accordance with 2 CFR §200.516(c): Payroll Recommendation: To help ensure employees receive accurate compensation, the School should implement internal control procedures that include thorough verification of payroll data against authorized pay rates before payroll is processed. Action Taken: 1. Pay rate change requests will be accumulated and organized by effective date. 2. For each payroll, all (100%) of the pay rate change requests that became effective during the pay period will be compared to the pay rates for the impacted employee that appear in the preliminary payroll reports. For example, for a pay period from 10/16/2024 to 10/30/2024, all pay rate change requests with effective dates between 10/16/2024 and 10/30/2024 will be compared to the pay rates for the impacted employees in the preliminary payroll reports. 3. If any discrepancies between the pay rate change requests and the pay rates in the preliminary payroll reports are identified, the pay rate will be corrected in the payroll system, the preliminary payroll reports will be reproduced, and steps 1 and 2 will be repeated. 4. If no discrepancies between the pay rate change requests and the pay rates in the preliminary payroll reports are identified, the payroll will proceed as usual. 5. For pay rate change requests with retroactive effective dates, the date of receipt of the change request will be documented, pay rate changes will be implemented immediately, and retroactive pay will be paid in the next payroll. The retroactive change requests will be verified as described in steps 1 and 2. Anticipated Completion Date: 12/31/2024 Contact Person: Keith Chilton
