SYNOPSIS

• (17-01) The Commission did not comply
with the Fiscal Control and Internal
Auditing Act.

FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS

NONCOMPLIANCE WITH THE FISCAL CONTROL AND
INTERNAL AUDITING ACT

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

During testing, we noted the following:

• The Commission did not perform an
evaluation of its internal controls or
prepare and file its annual internal
control certification with the Office of
the Auditor General for Fiscal Year 2016.

• The Commission did not timely perform an
evaluation of its internal controls and
file its annual internal control
certification with the Office of the
Auditor General for Fiscal Year 2017. The
evaluation was completed 42 days late.
Further, we noted the Commission did not
file its certification of the internal
controls review until 30 days later, which
was 72 days after the May 1, 2017,
deadline. (Finding 1, pages 7-8)

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 accepted the recommendation.
