Among the findings of the MCPS internal auditor:
- Contracts with vendors were signed without receiving required authorization from the principal.
- Staff members with MCPS-issued American Express cards never filled out the required purchase logs.
- Required pre-authorizations for purchases were frequently signed after orders had been placed and payments had been made.
- Required documentation for purchases was missing 37 percent of the time.
The audit report for the previous period, January 1, 2006 to February 28, 2007, in which the auditors complain of financial management issues similar to those in the new report, is available here.
A comparison of the two reports reveals little, if any, improvement in financial management practices between the two audit periods.
