INTRODUCTION

Wolcott, Wood and Taylor, Inc. (WWT) is an Illinois
not-for-profit corporation created by the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois. WWT was created to provide billing and collection services and practice management support services for the Medical Service Plan of the College of Medicine of the University of Illinois at Chicago.

FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Our report contains one finding concerning an improper segregation of duties in the cash receipts area. The
president has authority to perform all functions in this
area. WWT accepted our recommendation to improve controls in the cash receipts area by having the University electronically transfer funds directly to WWT's bank account.

We will review progress towards implementation of our recommendation during our next audit.

AUDITORS’ OPINION

Our auditors stated the Corporation’s June 30, 2003 financial statements are fairly presented in all material respects.
