What We Found: Status of Implementation <br />Segregation of Duties <br />We recommend that incompatible <br />duties be adequately segregated <br />at the Department of Parks and <br />Recreation. If duties cannot be <br />sufficiently segregated, mitigating <br />controls, such as a detailed <br />supervisory review and monitoring <br />of the activities should be <br />implemented to reduce risks. <br />P&R Administration took immediate <br />corrective action to ensure adequate <br />segregation of duties for those <br />responsible for cash handling (i.e., clerks, <br />supervisors, and management) when: <br />• Issuing permits <br />• Collecting payment <br />• Conducting supervisory oversight, <br />approvals, and reconciliations <br />Implementing Monitoring and Oversight <br />We recommend the Department <br />of Parks and Recreation perform <br />ongoing monitoring of the design <br />and operating effectiveness of the <br />internal control system as part of <br />the normal course of operations. <br />Ongoing monitoring includes <br />regular management and <br />supervisory activities, <br />comparisons, reconciliations, and <br />other routine actions. <br />Management and supervisors routinely <br />monitor: <br />• Revenue and expenditures, <br />reconciliations on revenue <br />accounts <br />• Security deposit accounts <br />• Daily treasury receipt reconciliation <br />In addition, P&R has implemented <br />counterfeit detection and robbery <br />response procedures to protect the <br />County and its employees from loss <br />revenue/theft. <br />Credit/debit card terminals were <br />implemented in Hilo (May 2016) and <br />Kona (June 2016) as a payment option <br />for facility use permits. <br />Implemented <br />Implemented <br />Cash Handling Follow-up Audit What We Found: Status of Implementation 11 <br />
