Conclusion

The Office of the State Auditor’s internal controls were adequate to ensure that it safeguarded assets, accurately paid employees and vendors in accordance with management’s authorizations, produced reliable financial information, and complied with finance-related legal requirements. For the items tested, the office complied with finance-related legal requirements over its financial activities.

The office implemented the prior audit recommendation.1 Specifically, the office established adequate internal controls to mitigate the risk created when it gave employees incompatible access to the state’s accounting system for administrative expenditures.
