Audit No: 214M-338 Audit Year: 2015 Release Date: 04/28/2015
Audit Name: Schenectady County Industrial Development Agency Project Approval and Monitoring (IDA)
Report: http://www.osc.state.ny.us/localgov/audits/ida/2015/schenectadyco.htm
Summary:
SCIDA officials monitored job creation performance by collecting data from businesses on an annual basis, but because it did not include recapture provisions in its PILOT agreements, they were unable to recover economic benefits if companies did not meet their job creation goals. Our review of 10 projects disclosed that one business met its job creation goal, two businesses did not report sufficient information to allow us to determine whether they met their goals and seven businesses did not meet their goals. Additionally, because SCIDA did not monitor PILOT payments, SCIDA was unaware that affected taxing jurisdictions were underpaid $94,341 from 2003 to 2014.”
Audit No: 2014M-67 Audit Year: 2014 Release Date: 06/27/2014
Audit Name: Duanesburg Separation Payments (School)
Report: http://www.osc.state.ny.us/localgov/audits/schools/2014/duanesburg.htm
Summary:
We found that District officials have established adequate internal controls over separation payments. When an employee leaves District service, the Board approves the retirement or resignation, and the payroll clerk reviews leave records and produces an attendance report showing the employee’s leave accrual balances. The payroll clerk also reviews the employee’s collective bargaining agreement (CBA) to determine the amount of unused leave time and the rate of pay the departing employee is entitled to, if applicable, in order to calculate the separation payment, and notes the calculation of the separation payment on the attendance report. The payroll clerk then provides the attendance report with the separation payment calculation to the Treasurer, who reviews the employee’s leave accrual balances and the CBA to verify that the amount of eligible leave time and the rate of pay used in the calculation are accurate. Finally, the Treasurer approves the calculation and the payroll clerk processes the separation payment.
