FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS

 

UNTIMELY DEPOSIT OF REFUNDS

The Elisabeth Ludeman Developmental Center did not deposit all cash refunds promptly.

The Center received 48 miscellaneous receipts and refunds totaling $14,825. Of the 12 receipts and refunds ($10,727) tested, 2 vendor refunds ($6,889) were not deposited into the State Treasury timely. One refund of $259 was deposited 8 days late and one refund of $6,630 was deposited 22 days late. (Finding 1, page 9)

We recommended the Center monitor cash receipts and refunds to ensure they are deposited timely. The Center response stated that the Accountant Advanced and the Account Technician II will be retrained on the cash management administrative directive.

 

AUDITORS’ OPINION

We conducted a compliance audit of the Center as required by the Illinois State Auditing Act. This was a limited scope compliance audit. The Center’s accounting records will be covered by the audit of the entire Department of Human Services. Financial statements for the Department will be presented in that report.
