Judicial Branch Administration: Audit Report for Judicial Council Acceptance

The Judicial Council of California's audit found that the court had calculation and distribution errors in its fine collection process. The court did not transfer funds correctly from one account to another, resulting in an imbalance that was made up by adjusting other accounts. The audit focused on high-volume case types and complex distributions, where errors are more likely to occur. The court agreed with the recommendations and has taken corrective action, but the auditor will continue to monitor the situation.
