Report No. 2008-51
An audit was conducted by our office of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, city of Wellington Municipal Division. During the year ended June 30, 2007, 29 cases were filed in the Wellington Municipal Division and receipts totaled over $3,900. The Municipal Division's controls, records, and procedures need improvement. Duties are not adequately segregated, receipt slips are not prepared when monies are received, and receipts are not deposited timely. Additionally, a monthly report is not filed with the city, some tickets are not signed or initialed by the Prosecuting Attorney, and written agreements are not obtained from individuals allowed to pay court costs and fines over time. Finally, a control ledger showing the total amounts owed by defendants is not maintained.
