Conclusions:
- The Minnesota Board of Veterinary Medicine needs to develop mitigating controls
to ensure the propriety of its disbursements and needs to further restrict access
to its business systems.
- The board complied with legal provisions for the items tested. The board
did not collect fees sufficient to cover its costs for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2003; however, the under recovery was about three percent of biennial
revenues which we concluded was reasonable.
The report contained one finding relating to internal control.
The office resolved all findings included in our prior audit report. |
