Rikers Island Central Cashiers Office: Control and Accountability Over Bail Funds

Bail for individuals in the custody of the New York City Department of Correction may be posted at the Rikers Island Central Cashiers Office (RICC). RICC is responsible for recording the receipt of such bail funds, depositing the funds in its bank account, and remitting the funds to the New York City Department of Finance for safekeeping. We audited the controls over these bail funds and found that, overall, the controls were adequate. However, we identified the need to strengthen certain controls that are intended to help safeguard the bail funds while they are in the custody of RICC.
