Corrective Action Plan

The District will continue to routinely review transactions on a monthly, quarterly and annual basis to verify the validity of the expenditures posted to the general ledger. In addition, the Accounts Payable team will review pending unapproved vouchers to determine the validity of each voucher. Based on the determination of each voucher, the Accounts Payable team will delete all invalid vouchers to ensure duplicate expenditures do not occur. The District believes that this audit finding is a unique circumstance and does not constitute a systematic weakness in their internal controls.
