Auditor: two long-running control weaknesses found, overall audit clean
Summary
Acuity auditor Corey told the Dufur SD 29 board the annual audit found two long-standing significant deficiencies — drafting of financial statements by the auditor and segregation of duties — and one small $3,000 seismic grant over-expenditure; there were no disagreements with management.
Corey, an auditor with Acuity, told the Dufur SD 29 board that this year’s audit identified two significant deficiencies that have appeared in prior reports: the firm’s preparation of the district’s financial statements and disclosures, and a segregation-of-duties weakness related to limited accounting staff. “We had 2, what we call, significant deficiencies this year,” Corey said, adding the issues were longstanding rather than newly emergent.
Corey said the district did not have disagreements with management during the audit and that most other areas looked good. He noted one small over-expenditure in the seismic grant fund of about $3,000, describing it as “itty bitty” and not indicative of a systemic problem. The chair asked staff to prepare the customary response letter to the state; Corey confirmed last year’s template could be updated with the current dates and responses for board signature.
