| of funds or property must be immediately reported to the |
| State Controller, who shall review the matter to determine |
| the amount involved that must be reported to the appropriate |
| state agency or department management, law enforcement |
| officials and the State Auditor. The State Controller shall |
| also determine the internal control weakness that |
| contributed to or caused the condition. The State Controller |
| shall then make recommendations to the state agency or |
| department official overseeing the internal control system |

| recommendations of the State Controller must address the |
| correction of the conditions found and the necessary |
| internal control policies and procedures that must be |
| modified. The state agency or department oversight official |
| and the appropriate management officials shall immediately |
| implement policies and procedures necessary to prevent a |
| recurrence of the problems identified and report the steps |
| taken to the State Controller. From time to time the State |
| Controller shall examine the policies and procedures |
| implemented to ensure that the relevant policies and |
| procedures are functioning appropriately. |
