MATERIAL WEAKNESSREPEAT OF 2020-001

During the year ended June 30, 2021, fraudulent checks totaling $91,700 cleared the Organization?s bank account. This activity was discovered in September 2020 after the $91,700 fraudulent checks had been written. Cause: The Organization?s internal controls did not facilitate a review of the bank reconciliations. Effect: Misappropriation of funds resulting in cash shortages for payroll taxes and pension contributions. Recommendation: The bank reconciliation process should be segregated as much as possible and an individual independent of the bank reconciliation process should review the completed bank reconciliations and bank statements on a timely basis. Views of Responsible Officials: Board of Directors is aware of the internal control issues related to the review of bank reconciliations. This issue was discovered during the prior audit but some fraud had already occurred in the current year audit. The bank reconciliation process has been segregated and an individual independent of the bank reconciliation process is reviewing the completed bank reconciliations and bank statements on a timely basis.
