State auditors say the town of Cicero needs to improve the way it records cash receipts.Cicero, NY - The state comptroller’s office released an audit today that criticized the town of Cicero for failing to establish written policies and procedures for recording and processing cash receipts.
The audit said the lack of oversight “diminishes management’s ability to monitor and control financial operations.”
Four years ago, state auditors found neither the Cicero Town Board nor department managers had established written policies and procedures for recording and processing cash receipts in the town’s Comptroller’s office or the Zoning and Planning Department.
When auditors in state Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli’s office returned to Cicero, they found the town still had “not taken appropriate corrective action to address these identified control weaknesses.” The audit covered a period from Jan. 1, 2008 through Dec. 31, 2008.
