Report Summary
Department of Labor and Industry
Programs Selected For
Fiscal Year 1993 Statewide Audit
| Public Release Date: March 23, 1994 |
No. 94-10 |
Objectives
Evaluate internal control structure: Special Workers' Compensation
Fund revenues, and Special Workers' Compensation Fund expenditures.
Test compliance with certain finance-related legal provisions.
Conclusions
We found three areas where the internal control structure needed
improvement:
-
The department does not always verify the validity of a claim
before making payment.
-
The Special Compensation Fund's uninsured section has not verified
ongoing permanent disability claims on a timely basis.
-
The department paid temporary partial disability benefits without
verifying the claimants' employment status.
We found no departures from finance-related legal provisions.
