RECOMMENDATION(S):

AUTHORIZE relief of cash shortage in the Treasurer-Tax Collector's Office in the amount of $1,337.00

FISCAL IMPACT:

Cash shortage in the amount of $1,337.00 will be funded with 100% General Fund.

BACKGROUND:

In accordance with provisions of Administrative Bulletin 207.7, the Auditor-Controller has verified and concurs with the report of a cash shortage in the amount of $1,337 in the Treasurer-Tax Collector's Office.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The shortage occurred sometime during the normal course of business on April 6, 2015, and was discovered on the morning of April 7, 2015, while balancing the previous day's transactions. The Treasurer-Tax Collector promptly requested the Auditor-Controller perform an internal control review of their policies and procedures for the handling of cash payments. The review was conducted by Internal Audit and the strengthening of internal controls for the safeguarding of cash was recommended.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The shortage will not be relieved, cash will not be in balance.
