Recommendation 5.3— Not Applicable <br /> "We further recommend Mass Transit management and staff monitor cash bags for patterns and <br /> inconsistencies(e.g., repeated over/shorts, inaccurate and incomplete trip sheets, cash bags with <br /> no trip sheets, cash bags with trip sheets and no cash, invalid ticket stubs). If Mass Transit <br /> discovers unexpected patterns and/or inconsistencies, they should follow up with the respective <br /> bus driver or person responsible for the cash." <br /> Condition and Cause <br /> MTA did not monitor the relationship between ridership and revenue (ridership x fare = revenue). <br /> Effect of the Condition <br /> Without reliable data, MTA does not know the actual cost of riders and losses of revenue. <br /> Recommendation 5.4 <br /> "We further recommend Mass Transit management conduct analytical procedures and financial <br /> relationship analysis to monitor controls, revenue, and budget expectations. One example of an <br /> analytical procedure is comparing ridership counts to revenue (ridership x fare = revenue)." <br /> Agency Action <br /> MTA said they use analytical procedures to perform financial analysis to monitor <br /> controls/ridership, revenue, and budget monthly and annually. <br /> Audit Activity <br /> We observed MTA used analytical procedures to perform financial analysis to monitor <br /> controls/ridership, revenue, and budget monthly and annually. <br /> Status: Implemented <br /> Implementing Monitoring and Oversight 1 19 <br />
