second All right, thank you, Madam Chair.
So since OPM is at the table, just a related question to personnel. So on the audit committee over the last couple of weeks, we've had a couple incidences where there have been e-mails sent to change employee bank records. And OPM has processed those, and it's allowed for fraudulent activity to take place. Basically, people are spoofing our employees. So I see you're nodding your head. It sounds like you're familiar with the issue.
Can you give us an update on where you're at on making sure we're protecting our employees from that happening
Speaker 14
4:25
in the future? Yep, you're recognized. Thank you. Yes, sir. We are aware of that. Unfortunately, it has happened twice, to my knowledge, one at Parks and Tourism and one at another department. You know, recently we have centralized payroll activities, and we're now doing all payroll activities at OPM versus at the various departments. Anytime we are implementing methods to validate,
anytime we get a change of bank account information. It's also important to know with the new S4HANA system, employees themselves can go in and change their banking account information. So we shouldn't be, the employees should be doing that in most cases versus us actually getting the requests. so when we get the request we're
Speaker 17
