1 Department of Public Works and Environmental Services Division of Solid Waste Disposal and Resource Recovery Revenue Collection Process Audit Final Report February 2008 promoting efficient & effective local government
2 Executive Summary We performed an audit of the Department of Public Works and Environmental Services, Division of Solid Waste Disposal and Resource Recovery (DSWDRR) revenue collection process. The division manages the billing and accounting for disposal fees paid by over 30 commercial collection companies and about 250 permitted disposal companies. Fairfax County s DSWDRR collected $99,808,407 in FY 2006 and $110,487,389 in FY Our audit focused on controls over the revenue collection process for both citizens and vendors. We found that in general the controls were effective. There was adequate separation of duties between employees handling invoicing, collection of county funds, safeguarding of revenue collected as well as those responsible for processing financial documents. Receivables were deposited, posted and reconciled in an effective and efficient manner. Delinquent receivable accounts were adequately monitored; however, we found that DSWDRR had not charged an estimated $38,000 in late charges over the past twelve years, starting in 1995 until present, because of an incorrect interest factor in the Weighmaster application system. This amount is very small and immaterial compared to the revenues collected over that twelve year period. The interest factor was changed during the course of our audit so that interest is now calculated correctly. Additional controls were required to strengthen the following areas: Finance charges for past due accounts were miscalculated due to an erroneous rate set in the LIS system. Policies and procedures for ensuring the adequate safeguarding of revenue collections were not up-to-date. Scope and Objectives This audit was performed as part of our FY2007 annual audit plan and was conducted in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards. This audit covered the period from May 2005 through June The objectives of our audit were to determine that: Revenue owed to the county was effectively collected and documented. Follow-up was adequately performed on delinquent receivables. Receivables were adequately and effectively deposited, posted and reconciled in a timely and accurate manner. Effective separation of duties existed within the collection process. Adequate controls were implemented to ensure proper adjustments, write-offs or refunds on amounts due. Controls were implemented to evaluate fees due were properly calculated. Procedures were implemented to ensure adequately safeguarded revenue collection. Revenue Collection Process Audit 1
3 Methodology Our audit approach included on-site visits to the I-66 transfer station and the I-95 landfill complex, interviewing and observing employees work functions as well as reviewing documentation, including reports. We also performed substantial testing of invoices, payments and payment applications to evaluate the processes for compliance with internal controls, departmental policies and procedures as well as county policies. Our audit did not examine the Weighmaster application system controls over billings, collections and posting applications. Our transaction testing did rely on those controls; therefore, this was a scope limitation. The potential impact of this circumstance on our findings was that some portion of transaction data may have been erroneous. The Fairfax County Internal Audit Office is free from organizational impairments to independence in our reporting as defined by generally accepted government auditing standards. We report directly and are accountable to the county executive. Organizationally, we are outside the staff or line management function of the units that we audit. We report the results of our audits to the county executive and the Board of Supervisors, and reports are available to the public. Findings, Recommendations, and Management Response 1. Calculating Late Finance Charges The Division of Solid Waste Disposal and Resource Recovery did not follow the proper formula for charging late fees as mandated by Chapter of the Fairfax County Code (Solid Waste Disposal and Resource Recovery). DSWDRR did not charge the mandated 10%; instead they were using a rate in the LIS system that approximated 9.48%. DSWDRR did not have a documented process for calculating late finance charges for customers who have outstanding amounts for trash removal services. Invoices were mailed out once a month and payment was due one month from the date invoices were sent out. A late fee was being applied to a customer s outstanding balance if payment had not been received by the date stipulated on the invoice. Chapter 109 of the Fairfax County Code states that any person failing to pay the account when due may incur a monthly charge of ten percent on the outstanding balance, annualized from the first day following the day such account is due, or $10, whichever is greater. The process and method of calculating finance charges incurred by clients should be documented. The formula in the automated system (Weighmaster) used for calculating the finance charge on invoices paid after the specified due date was not accurate. As a result of this small interest factor miscalculation, we estimate that since 1995 DSWDRR had been undercharging clients the late charges on their outstanding balance a total of $38,000. Revenue Collection Process Audit 2
4 The process for collecting late finance charges was well executed. All staff were knowledgeable of their individual tasks and the associated tasks to complete the process of revenue collection and late fee charges. Financial information was systematically entered into the system, clients were billed promptly and reports were generated and reviewed on a timely basis. A lack of documented policies and procedures increases the risk of weak controls and could lead to ineffective operations. Documentation should clearly define how the late fee is calculated to ensure future effective review by management and provide assurance that the department has a complete reference for business practices. Recommendation: During our audit, this issue was successfully addressed. The Division of Solid Waste Disposal and Resource Recovery has updated the formula for calculating late finance charges in accordance with Chapter of the Fairfax County Code. The calculation is set at 10 percent annually for outstanding amounts ( per month). This information is reflected on the invoices and can easily be explained during customer inquiries. No further action is necessary by DSWDRR. 2. Policies and Procedures The DSWDRR collection policy and procedures did not fully document the process to be carried out. DSWDRR did not maintain well documented and up-to-date operating policies and procedures for revenue billing and collection. Sound internal controls stipulate that there be a management approved and up-todate procedural policy to reflect the actual and current structure of the organization. These should be stored in an accessible location and staff should be trained on their daily functions. DSWDRR needs to update their current billing and collections policy to reflect new staff positions that have been added to the process, revised organizational structure as well as upgraded system applications and revised business processes. The lack of documented policies and procedures could lead to ineffective operations and could increase the likelihood of fraud and errors. Current organizational titles that coincide with the actual division structure, when included in written policies ensure that accountability is adequately identified. Recommendation: We recommend that DSWDRR management update detailed written policies and procedures for their billing and collection policy to reflect their revised organizational structure, updated changes to their software system and revised business processes, to ensure strong internal controls. Management Response: Agency Landfill Information System (LIS) and Accounting staff will update the current Billing and Collection Plan and the Write-off Policy. The anticipated completion date is March Revenue Collection Process Audit 3
5 DPWES will modify agency protocol for close of fiscal year activities to include mandatory annual review and update of the Billing and Collection Plan and the Write-off Policy. Revenue Collection Process Audit 4
