Comptroller of Public Accounts
An Audit of the Human Resource Information System (HRIS)
Report Number 95-129
25 percent of the records on individuals maintained on the Human Resource Information System data base could contain inaccuracies.
Programmers have the ability to modify programs without oversight. At the time of our audit, there were 4 contract programmers responsible for over 700 HRIS programs.
A single transaction can update a number of the 100 HRIS tables that comprise the HRIS data base. However, system and program documentation which identifies which tables are updated is incomplete, and/or outdated.
HRIS users indicate the system design meets their needs. However, users are aware of the possibility that the systems data is inaccurate.
