2007 Audit Resolution Report - Status of Audit Resolution - Department of Transportation

State of Washington Status of Audit Resolution December 2007 Department of Transportation (DOT) Agency: 405 Audit Report: 6627 Finding Number: 001 Finding: The Department of Transportation’s Washington State Ferries Division does not have adequate controls over ticket sales and revenue collection. Resolution: The Department has replaced the Ferries Division’s point-of-sale system with a state-of-the-art electronic fare system, which provides improved controls over ticket sales and revenue collection. The improved controls include turnstiles and magnetic vehicle detectors, which are linked to the point-of-sale system, and digital video recorders to enable after-the-fact transaction review. The Ferries Division Loss Prevention Department is currently authorized only one position, which was filled in December 2006. Until additional staffing is obtained, the Ferries Division will continue transaction monitoring and revenue and trend analysis, focusing on the highest risk areas. Ferries Division will continue to work with the Internal Audit Department to further develop the monitoring and control capabilities of the new system.
