Main Street Akron, OH 44308 Dear Mr. Donofrio: Attached are the results of the Follow-up Audit regarding the issues that were identified in the Fiscal Real Estate’s Preliminary Audit report dated February 1, 2005. FOLLOW-UP AUDIT SUMMARY The follow-up process should monitor and ensure that management actions have been effectively implemented or that senior management has accepted the risk of not taking action. Follow-up by internal auditors is defined as a process by which they determine the adequacy, effectiveness, and timeliness of actions taken by management on reported engagement observations. Factors that should be considered in determining appropriate follow-up procedures are: • The significance of the reported observation. • The degree of effort and cost needed to correct the reported condition. • The impact that may result should the corrective action fail. • The complexity of the corrective action. • The time period involved. We appreciate the cooperation and assistance received during the course of this follow-up audit. If you have any questions about the audit or this report, please feel free to contact me at extension (330) 643-2655. Sincerely, Bernard F. Zaucha cc: Audit Committee Approved by Audit Committee June 22, 2005 ...
