While the audit was good overall, state auditors made recommendations regarding weaknesses in cash management and internal controls. Auditors found that a number of deposits had not been made in a timely man ner as required by state laws that require daily deposit of cash receipts; student fee overpayments had not been re funded by check, but set aside for cash reimbursement, and large-sum checks drawn against a state account for payment to vendors had been outstanding for extended periods of time. In its response, the college said the delayed deposits were the result of "poor judgment" by business office staff in setting daily priorities and that staff was being retrained and new procedures established to ensure com pliance. BCC also said that the outstanding checks situation "resulted from unique circumstances and were isolated examples." Its entire cash receipts and disbursements functions are being reviewed and recomircnded im provements will be shared with the auditor's office and state Department of Community Colleges. breatne in , breafne uuf...

The top three priorities listed in the 1993-94 secondary road construction program ? Grand River Road, Cum bee Road and Rock Creek Road ? were not paved this fiscal year because right of way was not available. State law requires that the transportation de partment make a study before July 1 of each year to determine the amount of unpaved mileage in each county and in the state. The mileage figures arv needed to determine the secondary construction allocations to each county. Secondary road construction allocations, which are set by tne legislature, are based on Uic amount of revenue generated by the gasoline tax. The final total will not be known until the end of the Fiscal year on June 30. Based on approximately 1 10 unpaved miles in Brunswick County, compared to unpaved miles statewide, the 1994-95 secondary allocation is es timated at $1377,747.
