MTA Chairman Foye introduced Acting Auditor General Michele Woods (AAG). The AAG stated that there were 13 items on the Work Plan, and one item has been postponed. The IT report on Security of Sensitive Data will be made at the October Audit Committee. Six of the remaining 12 items on the plan are from our External Audit firm and require a vote to accept the reports: 1) The Financial Statements for the 1st quarter 2020 2) The 2019 Pension Audits 3) The Single Audit Report 4) The Investment Compliance Report 5) The 2019 Review of the MTA/IG's Office Expenses, and 6) The MT A's Consolidated Management Letter Report The reports on these items have been provided to the Audit Committee and are included in the Audit Committee materials. Jill Strohmeyer from Deloitte and Noemi Lopez, the Acting MTA Comptroller were available to answer any questions. A motion was made and seconded to accept these six items. There were four information items which relate to the operation of the MT A's Compliance Program. The items included: 1) The Enterprise Risk Management Update; 2) The Ethics and Compliance Status Report; 3) The Financial Interest Report; and 4) The Report on Open Audit Recommendations. Lamond Kearse, the MT A's Chief Ethics, Risk & Compliance Officer was available to answer any questions on these reports.

's Chief Diversity Officer, was available to answer any questions. The final item was the MTA Audit Si rvices' mid-year Status Report. Through the first six months of this year we have completed 34 operational and assurance audits, and issued 51 findings with recommendations to improve transparency, governance, and internal controls. These audits identified potential cost savings and efficiency opportunities of $6~ 1 million at the agencies. We also performed 176 audits related to Capital Projects. The third-party questioned costs for these audits were $3 7 .5 million year to date. MTA Audit has worked with the agencies to focus on new areas of risk during the COVID emergency, including emergency contracts and cleaning initiatives. The AAG will be working with the agency presidents to prioritize the remaining operational audits in the 2020 Audit Plan. Finally, the On-Board Program at the railroads was on pause from mid-March through June. This program was resumed on July ist. This concluded the July Audit Committee Work Plan.

    Contact: February 9, 2016 Chelsea Newburg (718) 694-4915 [email protected] REVENUE REVIEW: 370 JAY STREET & THE MONEY ROOM Wednesday, February 17 from 6:30 – 8:30pm Less than four blocks from the Transit Museum, above the Jay Street – MetroTech Station, stands 370 Jay Street, a 13-story white limestone building that for more than 50 years housed the headquarters of New York’s evolving transit agencies. From 1951 to 2006 subway and bus fares were processed there, in the Department of Revenue’s once-secret Money Room. The Money Room evolved as technology advanced: tokens were introduced in 1953, an innovative vacuum system helped speed up money processing at bus depots, and in the 1990s the MetroCard and Automated Fare Collection system brought revenue collection into the digital age. On Wednesday, February 17th, join long-time MTA employee and COO of Revenue Control Alan Putre and transit blogger Ben Kabak of Second Avenue Sagas for a look back at the fascinating history of this once-secret room. Tickets are available at http://bit.ly/RevenueReview for $10 (free for Museum members). Visit www.mta.info/museum/programs for more information on Transit Museum programs and to purchase tickets. New York Transit Museum programs explore the history, ingenuity, and inner workings of the transit system that is the lifeblood of our region. AfterHours at the Transit Museum provides an extended opportunity to explore the museum and features panels and programs with experts from the MTA, and the design, urban planning, and engineering fields – all set against the backdrop of the Museum’s 1936 decommissioned subway station.

  • Controls Over Automated Fare Cards (Report 97- S-13)
    H. CARL McCALL A.E. SMITH STATE OFFICE BUILDING STATE COMPTROLLER ALBANY, NEW YORK 12236 STATE OF NEW YORK OFFICE OF THE STATE COMPTROLLER February 17, 2000 Mr. E. Virgil Conway Chairman Metropolitan Transportation Authority 345 Madison Avenue New York, NY 10017 Re: Report 99-F-32 Dear Mr. Conway: Pursuant to the State Comptroller’s authority as set forth in Article X, Section 5 of the State Constitution, we reviewed the actions taken by officials of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority - New York City Transit (Transit) as of December 23, 1999, to implement the recommendations contained in our audit report, Controls Over Automated Fare Cards (Report 97- S-13). Our report, which was issued July 28, 1998, examined the controls over inventories of MetroCards. Background Transit serves more than 5 million customers each day. On January 6, 1994, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Authority) - New York City Transit introduced a computerized Automated Fare Collection (AFC) system. By October 31, 1999, 79.6 percent of the subway riders and 72.9 percent of the bus riders were using MetroCards (cards) to pay their fare. Adequate controls over the inventory of cards are essential to ensure the financial viability of the transit system. Transit’s Revenue Division staff use the high production encoding machine (HPEM) to encode cards with serial numbers, batch numbers and expiration dates. Cards that are also assigned a monetary value at this point are called “value cards.” The remaining cards are referred to as “basic” cards; a token booth clerk will encode them later for a customer who specifies the amount he or she wants to purchase.
