Department: Office of the Comptroller Respondent: John Ditinyak, Director of Finance Responsible Employee(s): John Ditinyak, Director of Finance; Nassaye Lyons, Payroll Supervisor Finding Number: 2023-17 (Page 163) 1. Condition: A list of compensated absences which consist of accumulated sick days, unused vacation and other approved PTO time at the 2023 salary rates as of December 31, 2023 was not available for audit. 2. Auditor’s Recommendation: That a list of compensated absences be made available for audit. 3. Township Response and Corrective Action: The Township’s current payroll software can provide the number of accumulated sick days, unused vacation and other approved PTO time, however, it values those days based on the salary rates effective as of date the report is created. The Township is currently changing Payroll Systems and that will not be an issue for year-end 2025. 4. Implementation Date: Payroll System is estimated to go live in July 2025.
