An audit report was filed on October 18, 2012 on the Department of Finance's (DOF) efforts to collect outstanding parking fines from participants in its stipulated fine and commercial abatement programs. It was determined that DOF did not effectively pursue collection of outstanding fines for parking summonses issued to vehicles owned by companies participating in its programs. In addition, DOF has no procedures on how to deal with non-compliant participants. Recommendations were made to tighten its control over its program's participants.
This letter report dated on October 9, 2012 addresses the provision of assistive technology (AT) devices by the Department of Education. Issues with consistency, documentation, and record keeping inhibited efforts to measure the effectiveness of AT devices in schools, thus conclusions could not be reliably made. It was concluded therefore that DOE could not ascertain with reasonable assurance that all students who should be receiving AT devices are in fact receiving them. Recommendations were made to rectify these issues.
From an audit conducted on the City Clerk's Office, it was found that the Office maintained complete and accurate inventory records for all major office equipment. There was compliance with the Department of Investigation's Standards for Inventory Control and Management. However, there is a lack of segregation of duties that may weaken the Office's internal controls over safeguarding equipment and recommendations have been made to rectify these weaknesses.
