Auditor flags segregation-of-duties issue; federal testing to increase
Summary
The county's single-audit schedule identified recurring internal-control findings, notably segregation-of-duties concerns and misclassification of some receipts; because of the findings the audit firm said it will increase federal testing from 25% to 40% of federal expenditures.
During the audit presentation the auditor identified recurring internal-control issues. The auditor said limited staff means some staff members continue to perform multiple steps in transactions, creating a segregation-of-duties finding that appears in the schedule of findings.
"It's in every single audit report that we issue," the auditor said of the segregation-of-duties finding, and added that the finding does not mean wrongdoing but does require the auditor to expand testing. The auditor also cited misclassified intergovernmental receipts that were corrected and noted two major federal programs tested: a lead‑based paint hazard program and ARPA funding. Because of the findings the firm will increase its federal testing from 25% to 40% of federal expenditures.
