FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS INADEQUATE EMPLOYEE TRAINING The Illinois Youth Center – St. Charles (Center) did not comply with the Illinois Department of Corrections’ Administrative Directive (No. 03.03.102) regarding employee training. During our testing of employee personnel files, we noted 6 of 25 (24%) and 18 of 25 (72%) employees did not receive the required training hours during fiscal year 2007 and fiscal year 2008, respectively. Employees were deficient 8 to 40 training hours. (Finding 1, page 9) We recommended the Center comply with the Department’s Administrative Directives by ensuring Center employees receive the required training every fiscal year. Center management accepted our finding and recommendation and stated the facility will make every effort to ensure compliance with the Administrative Directive requirements. AUDITORS’ OPINION We conducted a limited scope compliance attestation examination of the Center as required by the Illinois State Auditing Act. Financial statements for the entire Department of Juvenile Justice will be presented in that report. ___________________________________ WILLIAM G.
