INTRODUCTION

We conducted a compliance audit of the Center as required by the Illinois State Auditing Act. We also performed certain agreed upon procedures with respect to the accounting records of the Center to assist our single audit of the entire Department. Financial statements for the Department will be presented in that report.

FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS

INADEQUATE INTERNAL CONTROLS FOR LOCALLY HELD FUNDS

The Center did not have adequate controls over its locally held funds.

The same individual received monies for locally held fund deposits, prepared deposit slips for bank accounts, and entered the information into the accounting system. Prudent business practices and sound internal controls require the Center to maintain an adequate segregation of duties to help safeguard State funds and ensure the accuracy of accounting records. (Finding 1, page 11)

We recommended the Center segregate duties to maintain effective controls over the locally held funds. Center officials agreed with our recommendation.

OTHER FINDINGS

The remaining findings were less significant. Center officials agreed with the other recommendations and we will follow up on implementation of the recommendations in our next audit.
