Financial Review Report for Calendar Year 2013 Arizona State Capitol Chapter of NIGP

Prepared by Shireen Boone September 3, 2015

METHODOLOGY This assignment was a review and not a complete audit. The goal was to determine if recommendations from the 2012 review were enacted, and then to examine a substantial portion of the debits and credits of the chapter banking activity for 2013, confirming that procedures were followed and that there was no fraudulent activity. Recommendations from Previous Audit Reviews and Responses 1. As a general observation, thermal receipts are sensitive to light and also abrasion

which causes the print to disappear, which was noticed on some of the receipts in the 2012 audit review. Eventually these receipts become blank, which could be an issue depending on how long the records are to be kept, and what other audits may be conducted on these records in the future. It is recommended that photocopies of the receipts be made to ensure that the supporting documentation does not disappear. Status – This recommendation was implemented.

2. A recommendation was made in a previous audit for a review and update of the

Debit Card Policy and the Authorized User Agreement to clarify the requirements of the policy and to create more consistency between the documents. The Treasurer should include the documentation required under sections 5 and 6 of the current Debit Card Procedure.

Status – The Treasurer stated that she could work with the new Treasurer on an update during 2014.

Conducting Review The following items were reviewed during the review:

1. Was there supporting documentation for checks? 2. Were checks properly signed? 3. Were debit/credit cards properly used? 4. Were records well-organized and easy to review? 5. Were bills paid timely? 6. Were deposits made timely? 7. Was cash properly managed? 8. Was there evidence of fraud or gross negligence?

Analysis 1) Check images were provided on bank statements if a check was written, and were

available to review for each month. All checks were properly signed by an authorized representative. The appropriate supporting documentation was added to the Expenditure Record Form (ERF).

2) Debit cards were used with supporting documentation provided. 3) Records were well organized and easy to review. Credits and debits along with

supporting documentation were filed in the same order as the credits and debits that were applied to the bank statement. Thermal receipts were copied in order to retain the integrity of the supporting documentation for reimbursements. All green Income Record Forms (IRF) and yellow ERF forms were completed fully and had the appropriate receipts or other supporting documentation attached, except for in the instances listed below:

• In May a new payment collection account named Stripe was established to

collect NIGP fees. Stripe collects their transaction fee at the time of deposit to the bank account. Supporting documentation was provided for the deposits, however the transaction fees were manually written on the receipts without supporting documentation of the actual fees.

• A transaction fee of $26.70 from the closed account through AUTH.net on May 2, 2013, was charged with no supporting documentation. It was noted however that the account was closed and it was no longer possible to log in to get receipt.

• Stripe credit of $38.54 from a transaction on October 3, 2013 for $40.00. The Treasurer’s report indicates that it was for a “CC Merchant fee, and Refund for the Regional's”, however there are no details on the receipt regarding whose account should be corrected.

• No Expenditure Record form was provided in November for a $10 return item fee listed on bank statement

4) Bills were paid in a timely manner and except for the example below, were paid correctly:

• $121.00 was reimbursed to an NIGP Committee Member based on an

estimate, however the actual amount spent was $121.75 according to the supporting documentation. As the $0.75 was not refunded it should have been documented as a write-off.

5) Most deposits were collected through a web based program therefore were

deposited timely. Copies of checks deposited were included in all cases observed

Page 12: ARIZONA STATE CAPITOL CHAPTER NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ... · Need to have the copy of flyer for our charity 2015. Cooperative – Bill Munch - Bill reported Committee to meet in September

3 | P a g e

except for the bank deposits of March 6, 2013, and December 9, 2013, where the check copies were missing.

6) There was no evidence that cash was mishandled in any way.

7) The bank balance ended in December at $XXX and ranged between $37,424.94 and $88,820.17 for the year. There were no returned checks for the account due to insufficient funds. There was evidence of monthly bank statement reconciliation. Profit and Loss Statements and the Treasurer’s Report were included in each month’s folder except for November where they were missing. The current Treasurer is trying to recover the documents from the Board Meeting records. The CD account was included in the Treasurer’s Report with supporting documentation of the balance each month.

8) No evidence of fraud or gross negligence was found. CONCLUSIONS Following are my recommendations:

1) Strive to have all records and supporting documentation filed for every transaction

100% of the time, including copies of checks deposited at the bank. It is good however, that when this requirement isn’t met, that explanations are provided with as much documentation as possible.

2) Supporting documentation of the deposits through the web based program Stripe should include the amount of the fees charged, or Stripe should provide some other type of accounting record of the fees charged for each transaction.
