(WGNO) – The New Orleans Office of Inspector General released a follow-up report to their 2013 payroll liabilities audit.
Payroll liabilities are amounts withheld from employees for federal and state taxes, Social Security, health insurance, and retirement savings.
Their follow-up report found the City fully implemented two of three corrective actions based on recommendations in the OIG 2013 report and partially implemented another.
They said the City took full corrective action to reconcile all balance sheet accounts on a regular basis by adding nine new positions to the Accounting Department in 2011.
The report also found the City partially implemented the corrective action of regular reconciliation of Payroll Clearing Fund on a regular basis, but not monthly during the third quarter of 2014.
And finally, the report found the City took full corrective action to avoid discrepancies between paper and electronic employee time records by converting to a payroll system that eliminates paper documentation and maintains records electronically.
