During the course of this investigation the following failing was identified:
1) Leading up to the requested Special Audit at this office, it may have been
identified that the office had large fluctuations in its ONCH holdings during June
2011 and August 2011 when no cash had been apparently received or returned.
Are there outstanding issues of
a significant nature: (e.g.
impact, reluctance, refusal to
implement solutions, business
critical, etc - if yes, the matter
should be reported in more
detail to Team Leader)
Any other comments:
Case papers & originals are sitting with CLT as required for the external review
