The Department of Internal Auditing (DIA) has conducted an audit of the Cuyahoga County Juvenile Court’s processes and procedures relating to cash collection, handling, deposit and recognition procedures. The Juvenile Court requested this audit to promote productivity within the Juvenile Court’s cash collection process, promote compliance with applicable law, mitigate the number of opportunities for fraud, and maintain the public’s trust that funds remitted to Juvenile Court are properly utilized.
