FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS

STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

The Center collected money from residents at the Resident’s Commissary for the sale of pre-stamped envelopes and postage meter sales and deposited the receipts into the Resident Commissary Fund. The funds collected were periodically remitted to the Resident Benefit Fund.

Cash receipts and cash payments of $56,080 for the postage sales were omitted from the Resident Commissary Fund - Statement of Cash Flows report for fiscal year 2001.

Center personnel stated that when the fiscal year 2001 reports were prepared they were unaware that these sales should be included on the Resident Commissary Fund Statement of Cash Flows report since the sales are reported as income on the Resident Benefit Fund.

We recommended the Center report cash received and remitted to the Resident Benefit Fund for postage as other cash received and other cash payments on the Resident Commissary Fund Statement of Cash Flows report. (Finding 1, page 10)

Center officials responded that they had implemented our recommendation and that training was received during fiscal year 2002, which clarified issues regarding the completion of the locally held funds reports.

AUDITORS’ OPINION

We conducted a limited scope compliance audit of the Center as required by the Illinois State Auditing Act. We also performed certain agreed-upon procedures with respect to the accounting records of the Center to assist our audit of the entire Department. Financial statements for the Department will be presented in that report.
