FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The one compliance finding in this report concerns the property control records. There were inadequate procedures to ensure all property transactions were properly reflected in the property records, and reconciliations were not made with the Quarterly Fixed Asset Reports submitted to the Comptroller. House officials indicated a property control manual will be created which will codify existing policy and procedures so that records can be more accurately kept.

We conducted a compliance audit of the House as required by the Illinois State Auditing Act. The House has no locally held federal or State trust funds. Consequently, there are no financial statements requiring a financial audit leading to an opinion.
