RESULTS ARE REPORTED FROM AN AUDIT OF THE CONNECTICUT STATE POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 1976 AND 1977.
Abstract
STATEMENTS INCLUDED ARE APPROPRIATIONS AND EXPENDITURES, REVENUE AND OTHER RECEIPTS AND RECONCILIATION TO RECEIPTS REPORTED BY THE STATE TREASURER, ANALYSIS OF CASH RECEIPTS CREDITED TO COMPTROLLER'S PENDING RECEIPTS ACCOUNT, CONSTRUCTION PROJECT ALLOTTMENTS AND EXPENDITURES, ACCIDENT CLAIMS, R. GRAEME SMITH TRUST FUND BALANCE SHEET, AND STATEMENTS ON THE SPECIAL WELFARE FUND. RECOMMENDATIONS ARE THAT THE DEPARTMENT SHOULD SEEK CLARIFYING LEGISLATION REGARDING THE RETIREMENT CREDITS FOR OVERTIME SERVICES OF TROOPERS PROVIDING TRAFFIC CONTROL AND SECURITY SERVICES FOR GAMING ESTABLISHMENTS THROUGHOUT THE STATE AND THAT ALL MATTERS RELATING TO FISCAL OPERATIONS SHOULD BECOME THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUSINESS OFFICE OF THE STATE POLICE DEPARTMENT. THE DEPARTMENT SHOULD COMPLY WITH THE DIRECTIVES GIVEN BY THE STATE COMPTROLLER IN MAINTAINING ITS IMPREST PETTY FUND. FURTHERMORE, THE REIMBURSEMENT OF OTHER EXPENSE ITEMS NOW MADE ON THE DEPARTMENT'S OVERTIME PAYROLL SHOULD BE PROCESSED BY INVOICE ON THE STANDARD STATE REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES. FINALLY, THE DEPARTMENT SHOULD COMPLETE ITS PHYSICAL INVENTORY OF ALL STATEOWNED PERSONAL PROPERTY, AND THE DETAILED INVENTORY RECORDS SHOULD BE KEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH PROCEDURES GIVEN IN THE STATE COMPTROLLER'S MANUAL OF PROCEDURES FOR INVENTORIES.
