Appendix A – Material Weaknesses in Internal Control
Over Financial Reporting (continued)
1607-2003957 57
Management’s Response:
We agree with these recommendations and have implemented several corrective action plans to
address the root causes. Many improvements have been made in the third and fourth quarters of
our fiscal year ending September 30, 2016 and we continue to implement the corrective actions
required to remediate the remaining findings.
We recently hired a Director of IT Risk and Compliance who brings to Amtrak years of experience
in implementing and monitoring IT control environments. We take all risks to the IT control
environment very seriously and will continue our efforts to complete remediation of the past
findings and ensure our IT control environment will position us to avoid further issues in the
coming audit year.
