2008 Audit
Auditor Jeff Knobloch, from Eide Bailly, presented the FY 2008 draft audit. The audit is
in draft form until the State of South Dakota Department of Audit Review finalizes the
document. The anticipated completion of the desk review is June 2009. Although the
auditor identified no material weakness (significant deficiencies), the firm noted
improvement in several areas that were cited in 2007. He also noted these deficiencies
are common and difficult to eliminate in a health system of BHS’s size. Benchmark
comparisons were also summarized noting overall the health system is doing well.
Knobloch was excused at 7:28 p.m.
Construction Administration
Chairperson Olson asked the nature of Banner’s business. Banner expressed concerns
about who was hired for the up and coming construction project. Olson indicated
tonight’s agenda was very full and asked that they submit to the Board President in
writing their concerns, not later than two weeks prior to the May 28th board meeting and
their concern may be placed on the agenda. Englund and Salonen were excused at 7:45
