Audit Report on the Department of Environmental Protection's Billing and Collecting of Water and Sewer Charges from Private Hospitals (FK07-076A)
An audit report was filed on June 27, 2008 on the Department of Environmental Protection's (DEP) billing and collecting of water and sewer charges from private hospitals. The audit determined whether DEP is properly billing private hospitals for water and sewer use and making efforts to collect all outstanding charges. It was determined that, in general, DEP is billing hospitals for water and sewer charges properly, in accordance with its policies and procedures and the New York City Water Board Water and Wastewater Rate Schedule. However, several internal control weaknesses were noted regarding DEP's collection practices. As a result of these weaknesses, DEP does not make timely and appropriate collection efforts. Recommendations were made to rectify these issues.
