Excerpt
Excerpts: The Superintendent did question the size of the samples used by the auditors and stated that many of the samples were taken from the same day. In response, the sample sizes were adequate to identify the problems that SuDocs personnel continue to have with dishonored checks, follow up letters, and foreign checks. The samples were taken from the January 10, 2001, Weekly Cumulative Dishonored Check Report that included dishonored checks from September 1998. In addition, the samples may appear to be on the same day, but were not. SuDocs personnel do not identify or write off dishonored checks on a daily basis, but do so periodically and use that processing date as the date on those dishonored checks.
