An audit report was filed on January 30, 2008 on the financial and operating practices of the Department of Parks and Recreation for the West 79th Street Boat Basin. Parks is responsible for managing, operating, and maintaining the Boat Basin in Riverside Park, on the east bank of the Hudson River. It was determined that there was a total disregard for internal controls over the collection, recording, and reporting of revenues generated from all sources. Parks also allowed an environment to exist in which irregularities appear to have occured, and many red flags were raised. Questions were also raised as to whether fraud may have occurred at the Boat Basin. Operations at the Boat Basin were determined to be extremely disorganized and lacking. Recommendations were made to rectify these issues.
