SYNOPSIS

• (19-01) The Commission failed to timely file
its annual Fiscal Control and Internal
Auditing Act certifications.

FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS

UNTIMELY FILING OF THE ANNUAL FISCAL CONTROL
AND INTERNAL AUDITING ACT CERTIFICATIONS

The Civil Service Commission (Commission) did
not comply with the Fiscal Control and
Internal Auditing Act (Act).

During testing, we noted the Commission failed
to timely prepare and file its annual internal
control certifications with the Office of the
Auditor General for Fiscal Years 2018 and
2019. The certification for Fiscal Year 2018
was filed 37 days late, while the
certification for Fiscal Year 2019 was filed
114 days late. (Finding 1, page 9)

We recommended the Commission perform
evaluations of its systems of internal fiscal
and administrative controls and file annual
certifications regarding the evaluation in a
timely manner with the Office of the Auditor
General.

The Commission agreed with the finding and
stated they have implemented a system to
provide reminders of all known required
reports.

ACCOUNTANT’S OPINION

The accountants conducted a compliance
examination of the Commission for the two
years ended June 30, 2019, as required by the
Illinois State Auditing Act.  The accountants
stated the Commission complied, in all
material respects, with the requirements
described in the report.

This compliance examination was conducted by
the Office of the Auditor General’s staff.
