Findings in the audit of the Seventh Judicial Circuit, Village of Oakview Municipal Division

Accounting Controls and Procedures
The village Prosecuting Attorney does not usually sign traffic tickets submitted to the municipal division and does not document his approval of cases amended by court personnel. The Court Administrator and Court Clerk maintain custody of the Prosecuting Attorney's signature stamp which they use to stamp all citations, rather than the Prosecuting Attorney stamping or signing them himself. The Court Clerk also maintains and uses a defective equipment stamp to amend citations. Three tickets tested were amended and we saw no indication of approval by the Prosecuting Attorney.
