Westchester school district criticized in state audit
ALBANY – The State Comptroller’s Office has completed an audit of the internal controls in selected financial activities in the Hastings-on-Hudson Union Free School District. The audit of the Internet technology system disclosed weaknesses in the controls over users’ access to the district’s financial information and student data applications.
District officials have not adopted policies and procedures that address changes made to the district’s computer hardware and software systems, the audit found.
