Audit Objective

Determine whether officials properly accounted for Woodlawn Beach State Park Receipts.

Key Findings

  • Daily tally and gate summary sheets for entrance fees were not accurately completed. As a result, we were unable to determine whether employees properly collected fees for all tags issued.
  • Rental fees were not accurately entered in the financial system, as the rental agent does not provide copies of rental contracts to the recreation department office.

Key Recommendations

  • Provide training to employees on how to complete daily tally sheets and ensure that sheets are completed accurately.
  • Provide copies of rental contracts to the recreation department office to ensure that rental fees are accurately entered in the financial system.

Town officials agreed with our recommendations and indicated they planned to initiate corrective action.
