Accounts Payable Recovery Audit Results (Business Division)

On June 10, 2008, the School Board approved a contract with Weisman and Associates, Inc., to conduct an Accounts Payable Recovery audit in which we provided invoice data for 32 of our top suppliers. The data included over 26,000 invoices totaling more than $63 million. After analyzing the data using their auditing software, the vendor spent just over two weeks reviewing invoices in the Lawson system. At the end of this review, they were unable to identify any overpayments and concluded their audit.

This success is attributed to the current and past supervisors of the Accounts Payable Department: Kim Sapp, Alma Craft, Crystal Kitchens, and Jeanne Wocking; the Accounts Payable staff: Gina Jenkins, Bette Nunez, Kimberly Bistany, Juanita Childers, Janet Sardinas, Richet McAdams, Janet Puleo, Robin Kearns, Solange Pollick, Shirley Meadows, and Debra Johnson; and the controls utilized in the Lawson system.
