About This Audit
A compliance audit was conducted for Allegheny County’s Municipal Court 05-0-03 covering the period from January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2024. The audit aimed to determine compliance with state laws and Pennsylvania Courts’ policies regarding monetary collections for the Commonwealth. However, access to certain data was restricted due to expungement and privacy laws, limiting the audit’s scope. While the audit reviewed some receipts and disbursements, it was insufficient to conclude on legal compliance comprehensively. Two key findings included missing case files and inadequate arrest warrant procedures. Despite these limitations, the audit summary, prepared using data from the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue, shows that receipts disbursed amounted to $4,806,636, matching received amounts. The report was shared with Municipal Court management, and adjustments to the audit findings were minimal. The audit’s inability to access complete data highlights potential areas for improvement in record management and procedural compliance within the court. This is an automated summary. Please rely on the contents included in the released audit report.
