Audit Reports Affecting Multiple Agencies
An Audit Report on Reimbursements to the General Revenue Fund for Unemployment and Workers' Compensation Benefits Paid to State Employees
Report Number 95-137
Seven audited agencies reimbursed the State for $8.8 million or nearly 94 percent, of their calculated amounts due for fiscal years 1993 and 1994.
Forty-six percent of the unemployment and workers' compensation reimbursement were late during fiscal years 1993 and 1994. Late reimbursement payments ranged from 2 to 392 days late. Late or missed reimbursements could be eliminated by changing the billing/reimbursement system to provide for immediate reimbursements to the General Revenue Fund.
Funds were transferred from an agency which was late with its reimbursements on only one occasion. This resulted in a transfer of $388,000 to the General Revenue Fund in fiscal year 1994.
More effective monitoring by the Texas Employment Commission and the Office of the Attorney General, as well as by individual agency upper level management, could have improved the timeliness of reimbursements during fiscal years 1993 and 1994.
