Recommendations

We recommend that management design and implement internal controls to ensure that management sufficiently analyzes and timely and appropriately responds to changes that impact the financial reporting and internal control system, such as new accounting standards.

We recommend that management:
• Implement audit logging monitoring controls to reduce the risk that inappropriate and/or unusual activity that may compromise the integrity and availability of systems and data goes undetected and resolved.
• Enforce independent review of personnel’s system access and redesign existing policies and procedures in order to perform the review of all personnel’s access each fiscal year.
• Design, document, and implement preventive controls to remove system application access within an acceptable timeframe following a user’s separation date.
