An audit report was filed on May 5, 2011 on the Randall's Island Sports Foundation's (RISF) compliance with its license agreement with the Department of Parks and Recreation (Parks). The audit determined whether RISF accurately recorded and reported revenues and whether the expenses were reasonable, appropriate, and in compliance with the license agreement. It was determined that, generally, RISF accurately recorded and reported revenues and incurred expenses that were reasonable, appropriate, and in compliance with the license agreement. However, two internal control issues were noted. RISF improperly transferred or deposited $293,076 of license revenue to its private bank account. In addition, RISF misclassified a portion of that sum as donations rather than City revenue. Both issues affect the amount of money due the City at year end. Other problems identified were related to Park's oversight. Recommendations were made to rectify these issues.
An audit report was filed on May 3, 2011 on the Health and Hospitals Corporation's (HHC) provision of mammogram services. The audit determined whether HHC mammograms were scheduled, conducted, reviewed, and reported in a timely manner. The audit also determined whether radiologists who interpreted the mammograms were licensed and whether HHC data is accurate on the percentage of women aged 40 to 70 who made a clinic visit to an HHC facility and also received a mammogram within the two-year period prior to the visit. It was determined that HHC facility radiologists read and interpreted the mammograms and communicated results in a timely manner. However, HHC needs to reduce the waiting time for screening appointments, establish a standard waiting time, and check the accuracy of its indicator of percentage of women who made a clinical visit and also received a mammogram within the two-year period prior to the visit. Recommendations were made to rectify these issues.
