Corrective Action Plan

A material weakness in internal controls was noted due to a lack of proper segregation of duties for revenues. This affects the compliance requirement for Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds, ALN No. 21.027. Corrective Action: The City of Lennox's Mayor, Danny Fergen, is the contact person responsible for the corrective action plan of this finding. Because of the size of the City of Lennox, the municipality cannot support hiring additional staff that would be sufficient to support the internal controles neceessary to properly segregate duties. The Mayor, City Council, and Finance employees are aware of this challenge, and have put in place controls that minimize risk.

Corrective Action Plan

The City of Lennox's Mayor, Stacy DuChene, is the contact person responsible for the corrective action plan for this finding. Because of the size of the City of Lennox, the municipality can't support hiring additional staff that would be sufficient to support the internal controls needed to properly segregate duties. The Mayor, City Council Members and Finance employees are aware of the problem. We will continue to work on different policies and controls that will help minimize future risk. This is an ongoing process that will include input from the Legislative Auditors Office, discussion with other municipalities and utilizing the City Administrator, Mayor, and Council in some of the financial controls.
