From a follow-up audit conducted on the City University of New York (CUNY), it was found that CUNY did not implement a majority of the recommendations made to it. Although CUNY's College Discovery Program is more organized, due to the creation of tables that detail student performance, the program still lacks significantly in counseling and tutoring services. These services help educationally and economically disadvantaged students and this lacking hinders the effectiveness of the program. Recommendations have been made to address these issues.
From an audit conducted on the Business Integrity Commission (BIC), it was found that the BIC has significant weaknesses in the monitoring of trade waste and market industries. There are no standard operating procedures and effective systems for the tracking, investigation and resolution of trade waste complaints. There is also no adequate oversight of markets. In addition, the BIC does not consistently adhere to the City's Administrative Code and its Policies and Procedures for Processing Trade Waste and Markets Renewal Applications. Recommendations have been made to address these issues.
From an audit conducted on the Department of Environmental Protection's administration of job order contracts, weaknesses were found with the administration of the program. The program lacks adequate internal controls and most projects were not developed or completed on time. There is a lack of organized documentation and the program is not as effective as it should be. Recommendations have been made to address these issues.
From an audit conducted on the Department of Education (DOE), it was found that the DOE lacks adequate internal controls over the travel expenses of its Central Office. There is a lack of oversight by the DOE, contributing to the Central Office's lack of adherence to DOE procedures and City regulations. There are inconsistencies in the Central Office's purchasing procedures and processing of payment vouchers, and recommendations have been made to address these issues.
