Audit finds no clear evidence of EMS fraud; calls for payroll controls

The Audit Committee reviewed the EMS Fraud Allegation internal audit, which concluded that there was "no clear evidence of fraud." The report recommended immediate actions to shore up payroll controls, including written EMS payroll policies and the installation of EMS timeclocks.

The audit also recommended use of ESO Scheduling+ and Inventory modules—modules the minutes note are already approved by administration—to improve scheduling and inventory accounting for EMS operations. Committee members recorded the recommendations for administrative follow-up; no formal vote on implementation was recorded during this meeting.
