View Abstract
Published: OCTOBER, 2014
The Legislative Post Audit Committee has directed our office to conduct ongoing information system audits as an adjunct to the division’s compliance and control audits. The current three-year plan started with a statewide assessment of what types of sensitive datasets the state maintains and which agencies are responsible for those data. The results of that audit formed the basis of a risk assessment we used to select agencies for agency-specific audits. This audit evaluated state of information technology security in the selected agency. The Information Technology Executive Council has adopted IT security standards for the state. This audit evaluated how well the selected agency adhered to about 100 ITEC requirements or best practices across twenty different information technology security areas. This report is kept permanently confidential under K.S.A. 45-221(a)(12) because the information it contains could jeopardize the agency’s IT security. No corresponding public report has been issued.
Financial Regulatory Agencies in Kansas: A K-GOAL Audit Determining Whether Functions Could Be Combined To Gain Cost Efficiencies
View Abstract
Published: SEPTEMBER, 2008
Kansas is one of only five states with three or more separate agencies that oversee financial entities and institutions. By consolidating Kansas’ Department of Credit Unions, Office of the Bank Commissioner, and Office of the Securities Commissioner, at least $260,000 could be saved annually, mostly from staff reductions or restructurings. However, several issues related to governance and operation of a consolidated agency would need to be addressed. An additional estimated $295,000 in annual savings could be achieved even if the agencies aren’t consolidated. Those savings come from reducing credit union examinations to the minimum required by law, allowing bank examiners to work from home, and from reducing the amount of office space the agencies rent to the standards published by the Department of Administration. Total estimated cost savings of $2.8 million over five years are conservative. Savings could be significantly higher after a detailed review and restructuring of examination schedules.

Reviewing State Regulation of Bankers Thrift and Loan Company
View Abstract
Published: NOVEMBER, 1992
Consumer Credit Commissioners over the past decade failed to aggressively enforce rules and regulations put in place to protect the investing public. Commissioners allowed known problems to go uncorrected, and allowed investment certificate companies to operate when their delinquent loans exceeded allowable levels. The Commissioner’s Office allowed $1 million from the industry’s Guaranty Fund to be used to buy bad loans from one of the companies, to facilitate a merger of the last three investment certificate companies in the State. Although this was a legal use of the money, it depleted the Fund and severely reduced the amount of protection provided for investors. Bankers Thrift filed for bankruptcy in June 1991, leaving investors without access to about $9 million they had invested. According to the current Commissioner, investors will eventually receive about 90 percent of their money after all Bankers Thrift assets are liquidated.

State Subsidy of State Agency Affiliated Employee Credit Unions
View Abstract
Published: APRIL, 1973
During recent audit engagements, it was observed that certain state agencies were most likely subsidizing affiliated employee credit unions. To determine the magnitude of the subsidy, if any, and to be able to express an audit opinion on authorized expenditure of state funds, all credit unions chartered to do business in the state should be reviewed.
