Summary Explanation/Background
At the request of management, we conducted an Audit of the Internal Controls Over Environmental and Consumer Protection Division’s Access and Usage of the Driver and Vehicle Information Database (DAVID) provided by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV).
The objective of our review was to determine whether the use of the DAVID system complies with the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding with DHSMV along with the adequacy of internal controls to ensure compliance.
We concluded that the use of DAVID did not always comply with the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with DHSMV, and internal controls were not adequate to ensure compliance or to determine whether all searches were appropriate. Upon notification, management took immediate action to correct the issues noted. As a result, we conclude the internal controls over personal data have been evaluated and are adequate to protect the personal data from unauthorized access, distribution, use, modification, or disclosure. Opportunities for Improvement and Management’s Response are included within the report.
We appreciate the cooperation and assistance provided by the Environmental Protection and Growth Management throughout the course of our audit.
