Written Support of Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting of Payroll Expenditures

The Department of Correctional Services has about 32,000 employees. Information about the Department’s payroll expenditures is reported to the Office of the State Comptroller for inclusion in New York State’s comprehensive annual financial report. We audited the written support for the internal controls over this payroll information and found that, in most areas, this written support was adequate. Consequently, if the controls are followed, there is a reduced risk of significant misstatements in the payroll information included in the State’s comprehensive annual financial report.
