2022-001 - SEGREGATION OF DUTIES - CRITERIA - INTERNAL CONTROLS SHOULD BE IN PLACE TO ENSURE PROPER SEGREGATION OF DUTIES. CONDITION - DUE TO THE SIZE OF THE SERVICE UNIT, THERE IS LIMITED SEGREGATION OF DUTIES OVER ACCOUNTING FUNCTIONS AS THE ENTITY DOES NOT HAVE ADEQUATE PERSONNEL TO ASSIGN RESPONSIBILITIES IN SUCH A WAY THAT DIFFERENT EMPLOYEES HANDLE DIFFERENT PORTIONS OF A TRANSACTION OR TRANSACTION CYCLE. CONTEXT - WE OBSERVED THROUGH OUR AUDIT PROCEDURES THAT CERTAIN DUTIES WERE NOT SEGREGATED BETWEEN DIFFERENT PERSONNEL. CAUSE - THE SERVICE UNIT HAS A LIMITED NUMBER OF PERSONNEL INVOLVED IN THE ACCOUNTING FUNCTIONS. QUESTIONED COSTS - NONE. POTENTIAL EFFECT - INADEQUATE SEGREGATION OF DUTIES COULD LEAD TO THE MISAPPROPRIATION OF ASSETS OR IMPROPER REPORTING. RECOMMENDATIONS - WE RECOMMEND THAT THE SERVICE UNIT CONTINUE TO MONITOR AND EVALUATE ITS INTERNAL CONTROLS WITH THE USE OF LIMITED PERSONNEL AND TO PROVIDE AS MUCH SEGREGATION OF DUTIES AS DETERMINED TO BE FEASIBLE WITHIN ITS OPERATIONS. SERVICE UNIT'S RESPONSE - THE SERVICE UNIT, WITHIN THE CONSTRAINTS OF EXISTING TIME AND COST CONSIDERATIONS, WILL CONTINUE TO REVIEW THE SITUATION AND MAKE IMPROVEMENTS IF THERE ARE AREAS IN WHICH FURTHER SEGREGATION OF ACCOUNTING FUNCTIONS IS BOTH WARRANTED AND FEASIBLE.

2021-001 SEGREGATION OF DUTIES - TITLE I GRANTS TO LOCAL EDUCATIONAL AGENCIES - 84.010 Criteria Internal controls should be in place to ensure proper segregation of duties. Condition and Context Due to the size of the Organization, there is limited segregation of duties over accounting functions as the organization does not have an adequate number of personnel to assign responsibilities in such a way that different employees handle different portions of a transaction or transaction cycle. We observed through our audit procedures that certain duties were not segregated between different personnel. Cause The Organization has a limited number of personnel involved in the accounting functions. Potential Effect Inadequate segregation of duties could lead to the misappropriation of assets or improper reporting. Questioned Costs None. Recommendation We recommend that the Organization continue to monitor and evaluate its internal controls with the use of limited personnel and to provide as much segregation of duties as determined to be feasible within its operations. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action The Organization, within the constraints of existing time and cost considerations, will continue to review the situation and make improvements if there are areas in which further segregation of accounting functions is both warranted and feasible.

The entity does not have adequate personnel to assign responsibilities in such a way that different employees handle different portions of a transaction or transaction cycle. Context: We observed inadequate segregation of duties by reviewing an organizational chart and through interviews of various personnel and management in addition to tests of disbursements. Questioned Costs: None. Effect or Potential Effect: An individual controlling a transaction from beginning to conclusion does not have oversight from other individuals to ensure that the transaction was properly executed and recorded. Cause: The entity has a limited number of personnel. Repeat Finding: Immediately preceding year. Recommendation: We would recommend that the Board of Directors take an active part in internal controls and closely monitor all accounting functions, while seeking ways to continue to strengthen compensating controls. Responsible Officials Response and Corrective Action Planned: It is management?s understanding that this finding is routine for entities of similar size where the risk of exposure must be weighed against the cost of employing additional personnel. The Service Unit will review current practices to determine if there are areas in which further segregation of accounting functions is both warranted and feasible.
