Finding:

  • OAH did not adequately control some cash receipts collected by mail or directly by the receptionist. Also, OAH did not deliver some deposits exceeding $250 to the bank for several days.
The report contained one finding related to internal control and legal compliance. OAH resolved four prior audit findings.
