As discussed in the Results of Assessment section below, our procedures disclosed that the Agency had insufficient segregation of duties over cash transactions of the Loughborough Trust Fund due to a limited number of personnel. SCOPE AND METHODOLOGY We performed an internal control and compliance assessment of the, a department of Arkansas state government, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2014, and have issued our report dated May 26, Management of the Agency is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal controls and complying with applicable laws and regulations. The assessment included cash on deposit, cash receipts, expenditures, capital assets, and data entry to the Arkansas Administrative Statewide Information System (AASIS). The assessment consisted principally of inquiries, observations, analytical procedures, and selected tests of internal control policies and procedures, accounting records, and other relevant documents. We relied on financial data in AASIS recorded by the Agency and audit work conducted in the fiscal year 2014 State Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports (CAFR) and Single Audit Reports. The methodology used in conducting this assessment was developed uniquely for this engagement and, therefore, was more limited in scope than an audit or attestation engagement performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. RESULTS OF ASSESSMENT Assessment procedures disclosed the following internal control or compliance matter that was discussed with Agency officials during the assessment and at the exit conference: Finding: The Agency had inadequate control over cash transactions of the Loughborough Trust Fund because of insufficient segregation of duties due to a limited number of personnel.

2 ENABLING LEGISLATION AND ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE The (DAH) was created in 1975 to combine state programs and agencies dealing most directly with the discovery, preservation, and presentation of the State s cultural, historic, and natural resources. DAH seeks federal and private funding to augment its state funding. As illustrated in Exhibit I on page 2, the Agency is divided into two divisions: Heritage Museum Division preserves, presents, and interprets historic structures, objects, and natural assets. The Division s museums serve as partners in education with public and private schools throughout Arkansas. Heritage Resources Division identifies, preserves, and promotes Arkansas s rare, unique, or endangered natural resources and serves as a conduit for federal and state grant funds that conserve or develop those resources.

The Agency reported approximately 22.5 million in total revenue for the fiscal year ended June 30, The primary source of these funds was the real estate transfer tax authorized by Ark.

3 Arkansas Legislative Audit Agency expenditures totaled nearly 25.7 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, Salaries, capital outlay, and assistance, grants, and aid comprised 36.3%, 25.4%, and 15.1%, respectively, of Agency expenditures for fiscal year The Agency had net transfers in totaling 7.1 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, Transfers consisted mainly of interagency transfers of state and federal funds. The majority of the 3 million variance in net transfers between 2014 and 2013 was a due to decreased funding requests from grantees during the year, which are made on an as-needed basis. Assets and Liabilities Agency assets and liabilities at June 30, 2014, totaled million and 1.1 million, respectively. Increases in assets have generally been due to the acquisition of land and museum artifacts.

The top 15 grant recipients from each DAH agency are listed separately. All other recipients are shown in aggregate. Central Administration receives an appropriation from the Conservation Tax Amendment 75 each year, and each DAH agency is allocated a portion of the budget. The grants/aid line item is allocated to Central Administration for Heritage Month grants as well as two pass-through grants to the Arkansas Humanities Council. Any remaining balance of the grants/aid line item is allocated to the Arkansas Arts Council and may be used to fund related grant programs. The Arkansas Arts Council administers both federal and state funds, financial aid, and state art grants for programs and services benefiting Arkansas arts organizations, schools, and artists. Federal funds are appropriated by Congress to the National Endowment for the Arts which, in turn, grants funds to the Arkansas Arts Council. State funds for art grants and the Arkansas Arts Council are awarded annually. The Arkansas Historic Preservation Program administers or assists grant programs that seek to preserve the State s historic resources. Financed through state general revenues, proceeds of the State's real estate transfer tax, and/or federal funds received from the National Park Service or Department of the Interior, these programs provide assistance to governments, organizations, and individuals seeking to preserve historic Arkansas. The Arkansas Natural and Cultural Resources Council (ANCRC) manages and supervises grants and trust funds for the acquisition, management, and stewardship of state-owned properties acquired or used for ANCRC-approved purposes. The grants are funded through the State's real estate transfer tax. Grants from this fund are for projects that protect and maintain state-owned natural areas, historic sites, and outdoor recreation. 4
