FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS

 

 

INADEQUATE NOTIFICATION TO RECIPIENTS

 

     The Center did not provide notice of treatment review panel meetings to recipients.

 

     According to 405 ILCS 5/2-107.2 (b) “at least seven days prior to the date of the meeting, the recipient, his or her guardian, if any, and the person designated under subsection (b) of Section 2-200 shall be given written notification of the time and place of the treatment review meeting.”

 

     During our engagement, we requested documentation of the written notifications for 20 recipients; however, the Center could not provide.

 

     According to Center management, there was a misunderstanding regarding the notification procedures.  (Finding 1, page 9.)

 

    The Center accepted our recommendation to implement procedures to ensure notification is properly provided in accordance with the statue.

 

 

AUDITORS' OPINION

 

      We conducted a special limited compliance attestation engagement of the Center as required by the Illinois State Auditing Act.  The Center is not required to prepare financial statements.  The financial statements are prepared on a Department wide basis.
