files indicated that the game schedules existed at the time the Agency
approved those two licenses.
For 2 (6 percent) of the 34 lessor licenses tested, information in the file did
not match information in the Automated Charitable Bingo System
(ACBS), which is the system the Agency uses to issue, review, and track
information on bingo licenses. For these two licensees, the officers and
directors included on the applications in the file did not match the officers
and directors the Agency recorded in ACBS.
The Agency should ensure that its licensing files for conductors are complete.
The Agency complied with the majority of the requirements in the Bingo
Enabling Act and its policies and procedures for licensing conductors.
Auditors tested 43 conductor files and identified the following:
For 40 of the 43 conductor files tested, the Agency was required by the
Bingo Enabling Act to have documentation stating that the applicant did
not have a conductor license revoked in the last year. The Agency
complied with this requirement for all 40 of these conductors.
- All 43 conductor files that auditors tested included:
o An application that was completed and signed by the conductor, as
required by Agency policies and procedures.
o A completed Agency checklist signed by the preparer (Agency
employee) and the reviewer (second Agency employee), as
required by Agency policies and procedures.
o Documentation confirming the existence of a charity on whose
behalf the conductor held bingo games, as required by the Bingo
Enabling Act.
However, the Agency's conductor licensing files were not always complete.
Specifically:
All 43 conductors tested were required by the Bingo Enabling Act to
submit information to the Agency for background checks. However, 1 (2
percent) of the 43 files did not include a background check for one of the
conductor's officers. The Agency did not perform this background check
because the Agency had not entered this officer into ACBS.
Forty-two of the 43 conductors tested were required by the Bingo
Enabling Act to obtain training. Six (14 percent) of the 42 conductor files
did not include documentation of certain required training. It is important
to note, however, that House Bill 1474 later removed the requirement to
obtain the training for which documentation was missing.
