The following findings and recommendations provide a brief description of material weaknesses in internal control, legal noncompliance and other matters that are described in more detail in the audit report. 

Internal Control – Related Findings – Material Weaknesses: 

Finding:

A material weakness in internal controls was noted due to a lack of proper segregation of duties for revenues. This is a continuing audit comment since fiscal year 2006. 

Recommendation: 

We recommend that the Woonsocket School District officials be cognizant of this lack of segregation of duties for revenues and attempt to provide compensating internal controls whenever, and wherever, possible and practical. 

The report contains the auditor’s findings and recommendations concerning less significant deficiencies in internal control at the School District.
