In fiscal year 2013, PFM discovered a multi-year fraud of $296,000 by a now former employee. PFM immediately contacted the police and its insurance company to report the fraud. All back-up documentation was provided to both the police and the insurance company and all of the funds were recovered within four months. The ex-employee was arrested and charged. As a result, internal controls were thoroughly examined by management and an external consultant. Additional controls were immediately put in place. The fiscal year-end audit of PFM's books and records resulted in the highest level of assurance, an unmodified opinion. Management is confident that the correct level of controls is in place to minimize the likelihood of any future misappropriation of funds.
