FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS

LACK OF ADEQUATE COLLATERAL SECURING BANK DEPOSITS

The Illinois Arts Council Foundation maintained bank balances in excess of FDIC limits.

The Foundation maintained bank balances which exceeded FDIC limits during fiscal years 2003 and 2002. The approximate amount of uninsured balances at June 30, 2003 and 2002 were $81,700 and $450,500, respectively. (Finding 1, page 10)

We recommended the Foundation ensure bank balances do not exceed FDIC limits or are adequately collateralized. The Foundation response stated that in the future, large balances will be divided among accounts at different institutions so as to not exceed FDIC limits.

 

AUDITORS’ OPINION

Our auditors stated the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Restricted Fund of the State of Illinois Arts Council Foundation, as of June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002, and its changes in financial position for the years then ended.
