INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT ON STATE COMPLIANCE,
ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE, AND ON
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION FOR STATE COMPLIANCE PURPOSES

Honorable William G. Holland
Auditor General
State of Illinois

Compliance
As Special Assistant Auditors for the Auditor General, we performed a limited scope compliance examination of
the State of Illinois Department of Corrections – Shawnee Correctional Center’s compliance with the
requirements listed below, as more fully described in the Audit Guide for Performing Financial Audits and
Compliance Attestation Engagements of Illinois State Agencies (Audit Guide) as adopted by the Auditor General,
during the two years ended June 30, 2006. The management of the State of Illinois Department of Corrections –
Shawnee Correctional Center is responsible for compliance with these requirements. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on the State of Illinois Department of Corrections – Shawnee Correctional Center’s
compliance based on our examination.
A.

The State of Illinois Department of Corrections – Shawnee Correctional Center has obligated, expended,
received, and used public funds of the State in accordance with the purpose for which such funds have
been appropriated or otherwise authorized by law.

B.

The State of Illinois Department of Corrections – Shawnee Correctional Center has obligated, expended,
received, and used public funds of the State in accordance with any limitations, restrictions, conditions or
mandatory directions imposed by law upon such obligation, expenditure, receipt or use.

C.

The State of Illinois Department of Corrections – Shawnee Correctional Center has complied, in all material
respects, with applicable laws and regulations, including the State uniform accounting system, in its
financial and fiscal operations.

D.

The State revenues and receipts collected by the State of Illinois Department of Corrections – Shawnee
Correctional Center are in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and the accounting and
recordkeeping of such revenues and receipts is fair, accurate and in accordance with law.

E.

Money or negotiable securities or similar assets handled by the State of Illinois Department of Corrections
– Shawnee Correctional Center on behalf of the State or held in trust by the State of Illinois Department of
Corrections – Shawnee Correctional Center have been properly and legally administered and the
accounting and recordkeeping relating thereto is proper, accurate, and in accordance with law.

Our limited scope compliance examination of the Center was limited to the following areas of the Audit Guide :

-6-

Chapter
Chapter
Chapter
Chapter
Chapter
Chapter

8 – Personal Services Expenditures
9 – Contractual Services Expenditures
11 – Commodities Expenditures
18 – Appropriations, Transfers and Expenditures
22 – Review of Agency Functions and Planning Program
30 – Auditing Compliance With Agency Specific Statutory Mandates

The areas of the Audit Guide not examined at the Center have had procedures performed on a Department-wide
basis through the compliance examination of the Department’s General Office, and accordingly, any findings
from the results of those procedures have been included in the Department of Corrections – General Office
compliance report. We have also performed certain procedures with respect to the accounting records of the
Center to assist in the performance of the Auditor General’s financial statement audit of the entire Department of
Corrections for the year ended June 30, 2006. The results of these additional procedures have been
communicated to the Department of Corrections – General Office auditors.
Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants; the standards applicable to attestation engagements contained in Government
Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; the Illinois State Auditing Act (Act);
and the Audit Guide as adopted by the Auditor General pursuant to the Act; and, accordingly, included
examining, on a test basis, evidence about the State of Illinois Department of Corrections - Shawnee Correctional
Center’s compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary
in the circumstances. We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our
examination does not provide a legal determination on the State of Illinois Department of Corrections – Shawnee
Correctional Center’s compliance with specified requirements.
In our opinion, the State of Illinois Department of Corrections – Shawnee Correctional Center complied, in all
material respects, with the aforementioned requirements during the two years ended June 30, 2006. However,
the results of our procedures disclosed instances of noncompliance with those requirements, which are required
to be reported in accordance with criteria established by the Audit Guide , issued by the Illinois Office of the
Auditor General and which are described in the accompanying Schedule of Findings as findings 06-1, 06-2, 06-3,
06-4, 06-5, and 06-6.
As required by the Audit Guide , immaterial findings relating to instances of noncompliance excluded from this
report have been reported in a separate letter to your office.
Internal Control
The management of the State of Illinois Department of Corrections – Shawnee Correctional Center is responsible
for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with the requirements of laws and
regulations. In planning and performing our limited scope compliance examination, we considered the State of
Illinois Department of Corrections – Shawnee Correctional Center’s internal control over compliance with the
aforementioned requirements in order to determine our examination procedures for the purpose of expressing
our opinion on compliance and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the
Audit Guide , issued by the Illinois Office of the Auditor General. We have also performed certain procedures
with respect to the accounting records of the Center to assist in the performance of the Auditor General’s
financial statement audit of the entire Department of Corrections for the year ended June 30, 2006. The results
of these additional procedures have been communicated to the Department of Corrections – General Office
auditors.

Our consideration of internal control over compliance with the aforementioned requirements would not
necessarily disclose all matters in internal control that might be material weaknesses. A material weakness is a
reportable condition in which the design or operation of one or more internal control components does not
reduce to a relatively low level the risk that noncompliance with applicable requirements of laws and regulations
that would be material in relation to one or more of the aforementioned requirements being examined may occur
and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned
functions. We noted no matters involving internal control over compliance that we consider to be material
weaknesses. However, the results of our procedures disclosed other matters involving internal control which are
required to be reported in accordance with criteria established by the Audit Guide , issued by the Illinois Office of
the Auditor General and which are described in the accompanying Schedule of Findings as findings 06-1, 06-2,
06-3, 06-4, 06-5, and 06-6.
As required by the Audit Guide , immaterial findings relating to internal control deficiencies excluded from this
report have been reported in a separate letter to your office.
Supplementary Information for State Compliance Purposes
Our examination was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on compliance with the requirements
listed in the first paragraph of this report. The accompanying supplementary information as listed in the table of
contents as Supplementary Information for State Compliance Purposes is presented for purposes of additional
analysis. We have applied certain limited procedures as prescribed by the Audit Guide, as adopted by the
Auditor General to the 2006 and 2005 Supplementary Information for State Compliance Purposes, except for
information on the Schedule of Locally Held Funds - Special Revenue Funds - Residents' Benefit Fund for the year
ended June 30, 2006, Comparative Schedule of Cash Receipts and Deposits, Employee Overtime, Shared
Resources, Annual Cost Statistics and Service Efforts and Accomplishments on which we did not perform any
procedures. However, we do not express an opinion on the supplementary information.
We have not applied procedures to the 2004 Supplementary Information for State Compliance Purposes, and
accordingly, we do not express an opinion thereon.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Auditor General, the General Assembly, the
Legislative Audit Commission, the Governor, Center and Department management, and is not intended to be and
should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

Current Findings
06-1

Inaccurate Reporting of Accounts Payable

Shawnee Correctional Center (Center) did not accurately report Accounts Payable for fiscal years 2005 and 2006.
During our testing of locally held funds, we noted eight expenditures were not properly recorded as accounts
payable, resulting in an understatement of $12,282 for fiscal year 2005.
General ly Accepted Accounting Principles dictate goods received before year-end, but not paid for, be accounted
for as Account s Payable.
Center personnel stated lack of resources led to the inaccurate reporting for locally held funds.
Failure to accurately record liabilities and expenses could result in errors being reported in the Departmental
financial information. (Finding Code No. 06-1)
RECOMMENDATION
We recommend the Center properly record the receipt of goods and/or services and the associated Accounts
Payable.
CENTER RESPONSE
Recommendation accepted. The facility will make every effort to record accounts payable transactions for open
orders at the end of the fiscal year. The errors noted were due to oversights.

06-2

Lack of Independent Review of Payroll Documentation

The Shawnee Correctional Center (Center) payroll voucher s were not independently verified to agree to the
approved timesheets .
During our testing of 10 payroll periods during fiscal years 2005 and 2006, it was determined that the payroll
clerk inputs approved timesheet data into the computer payroll system, which generates the payroll voucher and
the paycheck . After processing, warrants are returned to the payroll clerk. The Business Administrator does not
review the payroll information after input to determine if the information agreed to the original input approved.
Good internal control procedures require verification that payroll vouchers are in agreement with the payroll
timesheets approved.
Center personnel stated the lack of staff resulted in the poor segregation of duties.
Failure to review payroll vouchers by an independent person increases the likelihood a loss from errors or
irregularities could occur and would not be detected in a timely manner. (Finding Code No. 06-2)
RECOMMENDATION
We recommend a person independent of the payroll voucher input verify its accuracy.
CENTER RESPONSE
Recommendation implemented. The business administrator will perform a review of the voucher/report prior to
signing as valid.

Inadequate Segregation of Duties Over Property Control

The Shawnee Correctional Center (Center) did not maintain adequate segregation of duties over property control.
An employee responsible for performing physical inventory counts of equipment also had the ability to add,
change, and delete transactions in the Property Control System.
Center personnel stated the employee had changed job responsibilities, but their Property Control System access
had not been updated.
Effective internal controls dictate the same person not be allowed access to the Property Control System and
perform physical inventory of equipment .
Failure to segregate physical inventory counts and access to the Property Control System could result in
inaccurate inventory information. Property was valued at $46,995,748 and $46,671,156 for FY 2005 and FY
2006, respectively . (Finding Code No. 06-3)
RECOMMENDATION
We recommend an employee who performs physical inventory counts of equipment not have access to the
Property Control System.
CENTER RESPONSE
Recommendation implemented. During the audit fieldwork, the access for the employee noted was deleted.

Inadequate Controls over Locally Held Fund Cash Disbursements

The Shawnee Correctional Center (Center) did not maintain adequate controls over locally held fund cash
disbursements .
From March 1, 2004 through August 2005, the Center did not have a Business Administrator. During this period,
our testing noted 15 instances where the two signatures required to process disbursements were provided by the
Warden and his designee, which was not in accordance with Institutional Directive 02.40.901.
Institutional Directive 02.40.901 states signature authority shall be given to the Chief Administrative Officer and
to the Business Administrator. Two signatures are required on each disbursement check. One signature should
be the Chief Administrative Officer or his designee and the other signature should be the Business Administrator
or his designee.
The Center personnel believed two authorized signatures, designated by the Center and regardless of the office
they originate from, was in compliance .
Failure to comply with Institutional Directive 02.40.901 circumvents the designation of authorized signers by the
Chief Administrative Officer and Business Administr ator. (Finding Code No. 06-4)
RECOMMENDATION
We recommend the Center comply with Institutional Directive 02.40.901.
CENTER RESPONSE
Recommendation implemented. The facility has revised the institutional directive to more closely align with the
Agency Administrative Directive. The facility will require signatures in compliance with the Administrative
Directive.

Inadequate Controls over Vending Machines

Documentation was not availa ble to provide evidence that Shawnee Correctional Center (Center) was collecting
Employee Commissary fund vending machine cash under dual control.
Center personnel indicated vending machine cash was being collected and counted by two employees who
returned the cash to the business office and prepared a count sheet initialed by both employees. A deposit slip
would be prepared by business office personnel. However, the Center did not retain the count sheets.
The Center could not provide documentation indicating two individuals collected cash from the Employee
Commissary vending machines. Collections were $14,812 and $13,924 for fiscal years 2005 and 2006,
respectively.
Good internal controls dictate assets susceptible to theft, such as cash, should be placed under dual control in
order to protect the asset from theft and the responsible employee from unfound accusation.
Failure to control cash puts the Center at risk that cash may be misappropriated. (Finding Code No. 06-5, 04-3)
RECOMMENDATION
We recommend dual control over vending machine cash collections be implemented and documented.
CENTER RESPONSE
Recommendation implemented. The facility has assigned two employees to collect the cash from the vending
machines. Additionally, the facility is in the process of changing vending machines to debit card technology,
eliminating cash from the vending machines.

Inadequate Controls over Inventory

Shawnee Correctional Center (Center) did not maintain adequate controls over resident commissary invent ory.
During our testing of the resident commissary inventory we noted 4,646 items had to be adjusted during June 30,
2005. The net adjustment was $111. Additionally, for June 30, 2006, we noted 1,572 items had to be adjusted,
resulting in an adjustment of ($346).
Center personnel stated the adjustments were due to inventoried items being included in the system, but not
physically being part of the inventory count, inventoried items being included in the physical count, but not in the
system, inmate theft, possible miscounts between months, and items with damaged barcodes.
Good business practices dictate internal controls be in place to maintain effective control s over assets and to
ensure assets are properly safeguarded.
Inadequate controls over inventory could result in the risk of asset loss. Inventory values at June 30, 2005 and
2006 were $64,300 and $87,787, respectively . (Finding Code 06-6)
RECOMMENDATION
We recommend the Center maintain effective control over and properly safeguard assets to eliminate the need
for numerous monthly adjustments .
CENTER RESPONSE
Recommendation accepted. The facility will make every effort to ensure adequate controls over the inventory.
The errors noted were due to oversights and errors.

DESCRIPTION OF LOCALLY HELD FUNDS
For the Two Years Ended June 30, 2006

The locally held funds of the Center are grouped into two fund categories, Governmental and Fiduciary funds.
These are non-appropriated funds with the exception of the Travel and Allowance Revolving Fund, which is an
appropriated fund. The funds are not held in the State Treasury and are described as follows:

1.

Governmental Funds

General Revenue Fund
The Travel and Allowance Revolving Fund is a cash imprest fund located at the Center and is used to provide
travel and allowances for discharged residents/inmates. The Travel and Allowance Revolving Fund is replenished
from the Center’s General Revenue Fund appropriation on a monthly basis upon submission of a duly authorized
voucher.

Special Revenue Funds
Special revenue funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are legally restricted
to expenditures for specific purposes. Most Centers maintain four special revenue funds.
The Employees’ Commissary Fund and Residents’ Commissary Fund are used to maintain stores for selling food,
candy, tobacco, health and beauty aids and other personal items. The residents’ commissary sells solely to
residents and the employees’ commissary sells to employees. Profits derived from Commissary Funds’ sales are
allocated 60% to pay the wages and benefits of employees who work at the commissaries and 40% to either the
Residents’ Benefit Fund for sales from the Residents’ Commissary or the Employees’ Benefit Fund for sales from
the Employees’ Commissary.
Residents’ Benefit Fund and Employees’ Benefit Fund are used to provide entertainment and recreational
activities for residents and employees. The Employees’ Benefit Fund is also used to provide travel expense
reimbursement for correctional officers while travel vouchers are being processed. During fiscal year 2006 the
accounting and expenditure processing of the Residents’ Benefit Fund were transferred to the Department of
Corrections General Office.

2.

Fiduciary Fund

Agency Fund
An agency fund is used to account for assets held as the agent for others. The Center maintains one such fund,
the Residents’ Trust Fund which is a depository for the residents’ money. The Residents’ Trust Fund is used to
account for the receipts and disbursements of the resident’s individual accounts.

(40.2)%

Center management provided the following explanations for the significant variations identified above.

Employee retirement contributions paid by employer
The large increase in employee retirement contributions paid by employer was due to the State resuming
contributions to the employee's portion of the State Employee Retirement Contribution during fiscal year 2006.
The State had ceased paying the employee portion during fiscal year 2005.
State contributions to State Employees' Retirement System
The decrease in state contributions to state employees' retirement system was due to the overall decrease of
the State employee retirement rate from 16.1% in fiscal year 2005 to 7.8% in fiscal year 2006.

Equipment
Equipment expenditures were based specifically on the budgeted amount approved by Central Office. During
fiscal year 2006, two large purchases make up the difference between the two fiscal years. Five garbage
dumpsters and one SCBA tank were purchased for a total of $6,700.
Telecommunications
Approximately 93% ($30,045) of the decrease is attributable to FY06 Revolving Fund invoices being paid in fiscal
year 2007 as catch-up billings.

Employee retirement contributions paid by employer
The decrease in employee retirement contributions paid by employer was due to the the State ceasing to pay the
employee's portion of the State Employee Retirement Contribution during fiscal year 2005.
State contributions to State Employees' Retirement System
Due to Public Act 93-0665, effective in March 2004, the State temporarily discontinued payments into the State
Employees' Retirement System during fiscal year 2004. However, contributions resumed in fiscal year 2005.
Also, the overall State employee retirement rate increased from 13.4% in fiscal year 2004 to 16.1% in fiscal year
2005. These factors led to the increased expenditures for State contributions to State Employees' Retirement
System.
Equipment
Equipment expenditures were based specifically on the budgeted amount approved by Central Office. Fewer
equipment purchases were approved for fiscal year 2005.

assumed fiscal responsibility for the Hardin County Work Camp on March 1, 1991. The official rated capacity of
the Center and Work Camp is 1,046 adult male residents.
The mission of the Center is to provide for the protection of society through the humane and secure
incarceration of adult male offenders, based upon the foundation of legislative and judicial decisions. The
Center's administration is committed toward instilling responsibility and mature decision-making in its inmates.
By providing extensive and high quality educational programs, work assignment opportunities, public service,
leisure time activities and religious avenues, the Center is expected to go far beyond the provision of the
minimum necessities of food, sanitation, clothing, housing and medical services to the inmates of the facility.

The Center is accredited by the American Correctional Association.
The Acting Warden of the Center from October 1, 2003 to March 31, 2006 was Terry McCann. The Warden from

EMPLOYEE OVERTIME (not examined)
Certain employees are eligible for overtime if the hours worked during a day exceed the employees standard
work hours. Correctional Officers receive a ¼-hour of overtime for each day they stand for roll call. The roll call
overtime is paid at straight time for all but Correctional Lieutenants who receive 1 ½ times normal pay.
Overtime is to be distributed as equally as possible among employees who normally perform the work in the
position in which the overtime is needed. An employees’ supervisor must approve any overtime. In most cases,
except for roll call, employees are compensated at 1 ½ times their normal hourly rate for overtime hours
worked. Employees have the opportunity to be compensated either in pay for the overtime or receive
compensatory time off.
The following table, prepared from Department records presents the paid overtime and earned compensatory
time incurred during fiscal year 2006 and 2005.

INMATE COMMISSARY OPERATION
The Center operates a commissary for the benefit of the inmates. The commissary purchases goods from
outside vendors and then sells the items to the inmates at retail. The commissary purchases goods at wholesale
prices where possible. Effective January 1, 2004 the Unified Code of Corrections, 730 ILCS 5/3-7-2a, was
amended to change the mark-up of cost on the goods purchased for resale in the commissary. Effective January
1, 2004, the selling price for all goods shall be sufficient to cover the cost of the goods and an additional charge
of up to 35% for tobacco products and up to 25% for non-tobacco products.
The financial transactions of the Inmate commissary are recorded in the Residents’ Commissary Fund. A
summary of the financial activity of the Residents’ Commissary Fund for the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005
are presented on pages 21 and 22 of this report.
As part of our testing, 20 inmate commissary products were selected and their sale price recomputed to
determine compliance with the Unified Code of Corrections regarding the statutorily required mark-up. As a
result of our testing we noted that, during FY05 and through December 2005, the Center was automatically
marking up tobacco products by 35% and non-tobacco products by 25%. Beginning January 2006, the Center
began first marking items up 7% per a Department of Corrections Central Office policy to use full absorption
costing. The Center was directed to mark items up by the 7% overhead rate and then to mark the items up by
the statutorily mandated 25% or 35%.
