Report Materials

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Our review showed that Palmetto's:  (1) accounting controls for generating a paid claims electronic file were generally adequate, and (2) monthly financial reconciliations were substantially accurate, supportable, and complete.  However, we noted that the Multi-Carrier System is unable to generate a paid claims electronic file and this resulted in our being unable to reconcile total funds expended totaling approximately $1.7 million for Part B Ohio and West Virginia, and for the Railroad Retirement Board.
