The results of our audit identified deficiencies in internal control and/or noncompliance that are considered reportable under Government Auditing Standards. These items included: (1) Staff in the Clerk's Office had the ability to change information in multiple systems, resulting in inadequate segregation of duties; (2) The Clerk's Office did not collect estate inventory fees in accordance with state law, resulting in a delay and potential loss in the collection of estate costs and fees. Details about each item are provided in the Audit Findings, Recommendations, and Responses section of the report.
