            - 
              Assess Internal Control Structure: payroll, capital equipment, and
              all administrative disbursements.
              
            
 
            - 
              Test Compliance with certain Finance-Related Legal Provisions.
              
            
 
          
          Conclusions
          
            We found two areas where the internal control structure needed
            improvement:
          
          
            - 
              The board's controls over its fixed assets are inadequate.
              
            
 
            - 
              Controls over access to statewide accounting and payroll/personnel
              transactions are inadequate.
              
            
 
          
          We found one departure from finance-related legal provisions:
          
            - The board failed to encumber funds in a timely manner.
