An audit report was filed on June 13, 2007 on the administration of imprest funds by the Department for the Aging (DFTA). The audit determined whether the DFTA complied with Comptroller's Directive #3 (Procedures for the Administration of Imprest Funds). It was determined that DFTA generally complied with certain, major provisions of Comptroller's Directive #3. However, it was found that there were other areas of non-compliance with other provisions of Comptroller's Directive #3. This included inadequate segregation of duties over bank reconciliations, use of incorrect object codes, underutilization of requirements contracts, late payments, split purchases, and an inadequate maintenance of required documents. Recommendations were made to rectify these issues.
