MATERIAL WEAKNESSREPEAT OF 2018-001

Finding Number 2019-001 A material weakness was disclosed by our audit of the financial statements for a lack of segregation of duties for the expenditure function. Analysis: For the expenditure function there is a lack of segregation of duties because one or two persons perform a major portion of the procedures with few checks and balances. This may effect the completeness and existence of transactions. There may be miscoding of transactions, and/or transactions not being recorded. Recommendation: We recommend the Belle Fourche School District No. 9-1 officials be cognizant of this lack of segregation of duties for expenditures and attempt to provide compensating internal controls whenever possible and practical.

Corrective Action Plan

Corrective Action Plan The school board president is the contact person responsible for the corrective action plan for these comments. These comments are the result of the size of Belle Fourche School District which precludes staffing at a level sufficient to provide an ideal environment for internal controls. Belle Fourche School District has determined it is not cost beneficial to employ additional personnel just to be able to adequately segregate duties for expenditures and payroll. Belle Fourche School District is aware of this problem and is attempting to provide compensating controls wherever and whenever possible and practical. However, this lack of segregation of duties continues to exist.
