Inadequate Procedures Noted

FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND
RECOMMENDATIONS

Our report contains two findings concerning inadequate procedures regarding: the preparation of employee evaluations on an annual basis; and the failure to file an annual report with the Governor's office regarding employment statistics for women, disabled and minority groups.

The System concurred with our recommendations and indicated the deficiencies would be corrected. We will review the System's implementation of our recommendations in our next audit. (Finding 1 and 2, pages 8 and 9)
