Office of Management and Compliance Audits Summary of Audit Results For 2010-2011FY: Of 288 schools audited, 261 schools (91%) conducted their financial affairs in accordance with District policies and maintained good internal controls. At 27 schools (9%) there were opportunities for improvement (schools with audit findings). The number of schools with exceptions decreased when compared to last year s results where, of 313 schools audited, 32 schools (10%) were cited.
Office of Management and Compliance Audits Audit Coverage In addition to conducting audit of internal funds and property at all schools visited, additional coverage included: Payroll records and procedures at 109 schools (37%). The Purchasing Credit Card Program (P-Card) at 47 schools (16%). Data security management report and school site IT security audit assessment at 44 schools (15%). Title I Program audits conducted at 13 schools (4%). FTE audits were conducted at 36 schools (12%) based on audit criteria developed by this office.

Office of Management and Compliance Audits Current Audit Concerns: Bank Statements Altered By School Staff To Conceal Theft Of Funds/Negative Account Balances/Late Deposits Direct staff to deliver unopened envelope from bank containing checking account s bank statement and canceled checks to Principal/administrator for initial review Principal/administrator to review prior to turning to Treasurer Online Banking-staff must not be given access to funds transfers or other transactions--may seem convenient but may turn dangerous since copies can be easily manipulated Internal Funds still requires hard copies Disbursements For Electronic Equipment With Individual Cost Of Less Than $1,000 Cannot Be Located Schools unable to present items during audit when auditors request to inspect item(s) purchased prone to questions Schools Not Conducting Pre-audits Of Property Unlocated items over threshold require reporting Significant losses reported via Plant Security Reports may require additional explanation and corrective action.

Cash collected is deposited into the United Way Account (5004 0467) with a sub-ledger to separate these funds from the student campaign. NOTE: Coins sent directly to the designated United Way Depository for either campaign must not be recorded in the MSAF system.
Internal Fund New bid procedures for Internal Fund purchases from $1,000 to $50,000 Solicit bids from a minimum of 3 vendors, one of whom must be a certified minority vendor (see http://mwbe.dadeschools.net for a list of vendors). Verbal bids must be documented. Purchases over $50,000 will be reviewed by Procurement Management Briefing ID #:10513
Internal Fund SCHOOL PICTURE NOTE Before sending school picture flyers home to parents, make sure that every package on the flyer is exactly the same as the original bid. New Procedures for Receiving District Funds at School Sites Funds received by the schools from the District for items such as vending commissions, Fund 9 replenishments, etc., will not longer be sent via check. Rather, these funds will now be transferred directly to the school s respective checking account. The Principal will receive an email advice for each transfer made. It is very important that the Treasurer receives a copy of the email in a timely manner to record the necessary journal entry.
