State audit give Dutchess Water and Wastewater Authority good grades

POUGHKEEPSIE – A state comptroller’s audit of the Dutchess County Water and Wastewater Authority has commended the agency for the procedure it follows when dealing with cash receipts.
The state review examined internal controls over cash receipts for the
period January 1, 2015 through August 17, 2016.
“The Board and Authority officials implemented specific procedures over the cash receipt process that included providing adequate supervision and oversight,” the audit stated in its report that made no recommendations for improvements.
In its response to the audit, Authority Executive Director Bridget Barclay wrote authority officials “concur with the report’s description of the Authority, its presentation of the Authority’s policies and procedures concerning cash receipts, and the draft audit findings.”
