YELLOW SHEET Office of the State Auditor of Missouri Claire McCaskill

Report No. 2004-65

August 31, 2004

The following problems were discovered as a result of an audit conducted by our office of the State Lottery Commission.

An audit issued July 2, 2004, reviewed the cost of promotional items of all state departments including the State Lottery Commission (SLC).  This report (2004-55) concluded the commission gave promotional items to attendees at meetings and conferences, paid to sponsor a golf hole at the Petroleum Marketers Association annual golf event, and gave retailers television sets and DVD players to enhance their working relationships.  This report questioned the value received by the SLC from these expenditures.  Additionally, follow-up on the State Lottery Commission audit report number 2002-05 found all recommendations either fully or partially implemented.
