Report Summary
Department of Human Services
Programs Selected for
Fiscal Year 1994 Statewide Audit
| Public Release Date: April 28, 1995 |
No. 95-15 |
Objectives:
Review Internal Control Structure: Various state and federal
grants/aids.
Test compliance with certain finance-related provisions.
Conclusions:
We found two areas where the internal control structure needed
improvement:
-
The Department of Human Services encountered problems in
processing Medicare and suspense file claims in the transition to
the MMIS II computer system.
-
The department has not prepared sufficient documentation of the
MMIS II operational edits or systems maintenance.
We found one area where the department had not complied with
finance-related legal provisions:
-
The department is not in compliance with Minn. Stat. Section
256B.27, Subd. 2a. The law requires the department to annually
perform on-site audits of at least 25 percent of nursing home
participants as vendors of medical assistance. The department is
planning to seek an amendment to this statutory provision in 1996.
