New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli today announced the following local government and school audits were issued.
Roslyn Union Free School District – Information Technology (IT) Equipment Inventory Records (Nassau County)
While district officials generally tracked IT equipment appropriately, they did not always safeguard IT equipment or maintain sufficiently detailed, up-to-date inventory records. The IT inventory list included at least 400 active IT devices that were missing either a serial number or tag number. The fixed asset report did not contain serial numbers for 435 devices, complete descriptions with the manufacturer’s name for 175 devices and model information for 201 devices. Auditors reviewed 60 IT devices to confirm the devices were properly inventoried and physically located at the district and determined that six devices totaling $2,136 and one inkjet printer with an unknown cost were not recorded in the IT inventory list.
Hammond Fire District – Board Oversight (St. Lawrence County)
The board did not adequately monitor financial activities. Specifically, the board did not ensure that it received monthly financial reports to effectively monitor financial operations throughout the year or ensure the Annual Financial Reports were filed timely. The board also did not conduct an annual audit of the secretary-treasurer’s financial records. In addition, one board member has not yet completed the statutorily required financial training and three board members completed the training between 185 and 1,138 days late.
