Findings 2 findings

The Auditor- Controller's Staff lacks the skills to implement the new version of the PeopleSoft software. Response 1 We disagree with the finding. The implementation of PeopleSoft Human Resources/Payroll and Financial Systems requires the expertise of the Auditor-Controller's Department, Human Resources, various user departments and the County's Information Technology Services Department (ITS). The Auditor- Controller's staff skill set has allowed the County to complete the initial implementation in 1996 and numerous upgrades over the past seven years.

There are discrepancies in the cash reconciliation process. Response 2 We agree in part with the finding. The Auditor-Controller's Department had in previous years dealt with cash reconciliation issues. As noted in the 2002-2003 Management Report issued by the County's external auditors Bartig, Basler & Ray, the management finding dealing with the cash reconciliation problem was fully implemented in the 2002-2003 fiscal year.

Recommendations 2

R1

The Auditor-Controller should ensure that the staff receives the requisite training. Response 1 We agree with the recommendation. Continuous training of all County staff involved in the implementation process is critical to the successful implementation and operation of the PeopleSoft software.
