About This Audit
A compliance audit was conducted on District Court 45-1-03, Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, for the period January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2024, to assess compliance with state laws and the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts (AOPC) policies regarding the collection of moneys for the Commonwealth. Due to restricted access to certain case information, the audit could not fully determine compliance in all areas. Nonetheless, it was determined that the district court’s receipts matched the amounts reported by the Department of Revenue. Notable findings included inadequate procedures for handling outstanding checks and recurring issues with arrest warrant procedures. The audit also identified a $272 adjustment due to discrepancies in reporting and crediting payments. This is an automated summary. Please rely on the contents included in the released audit report.
