Resident urges independent audit after repeated payroll errors
Summary
A Brownsburg resident reported repeated payroll errors dating to 2019 and urged the board to commission an external audit and publish findings to restore trust.
David Wyant, a Brownsburg resident, used the public comment period at the May 20 meeting to say the town has experienced multiple payroll errors and urged the executive board to order an independent audit.
Wyant said the transcript of his remarks shows two payroll issues he identified: one in January 2020 totaling $35,004.05 and another in November 2021 totaling $34,002.67 covering the period from February 2019 to February 2021. "I would suggest like an independent audit from an external firm, identify process improvements as a result, identify any staffing issues which were addressed, and then I would publish those results publicly, so that you can restore the integrity and restore the trust," Wyant said.
Wyant asked the board what actions they would take and said he would take the comments offline. The board did not record a formal response or take action on the request during the meeting; the issue was raised as public comment and not an agenda item.
The board did not schedule follow-up during the meeting; no staff report or motion addressing the payroll concerns was recorded in the transcript.
