SYNOPSIS

• The Board failed to implement the provisions of the
Identity Protection Act.

FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS

FAILURE TO IMPLEMENT PROVISIONS OF THE IDENTITY
PROTECTION ACT

The Board failed to implement provisions of the Identity
Protection Act (Act).

During our testing, we noted the Board had not issued an
identity protection policy. (Finding 1, pages 7-8)

We recommended the Board develop and approve an identity
protection policy as required in the Act.

The Board accepted our recommendation and stated they
are in the process of developing a formal policy on the
Act for approval by the Board’s legal staff and members.
They further stated they have in the past and will
continue to maintain the practice of securing all social
security numbers to prevent identity theft.

AUDITORS’ OPINION

We conducted a compliance examination of the Board as
required by the Illinois State Auditing Act.  The Board
has no funds that require an audit leading to an opinion
of the financial statements.
