FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS

INADEQUATE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

The Board did not have adequate written policies and procedures for significant aspects of daily operations, including personal services, operation of automobiles, and computer systems.

We recommended the Board develop and document policies and procedures for each area of its daily operations. (Finding 00-1, page 9)

Board personnel responded that officials will review its formal and informal policies and procedures and expand or document those policies as they deem necessary.

AUDITORS' OPINION

The Board does not have any non-shared or locally held funds. Consequently, there are no financial statements requiring an auditors’ opinion presented in this report.
