Summary
An auditor told the True Commission that two remaining issues from a citywide wire transfer audit have been corrected, closing the third‑follow‑up; the tax collector audit was announced as forthcoming to the finance committee.
The city auditor reported to the True Commission that follow‑up work on the citywide wire transfer audit is complete. The original audit identified nine issues; seven had been cleared in earlier follow‑ups. The two remaining items from the second follow‑up — wire requests not being initialed in the accounting system and wire transfer procedures inconsistent with the municipal code requirement for accounting approval before transfers — have now been corrected.
“This follow‑up, this closes up this audit,” the auditor said, noting the report was released Oct. 8, 2025. The auditor also told the commission that a separate tax collector’s office audit (report number 895) had been released and will be presented to the finance committee when scheduled.
Commissioners asked related operational questions, including how cash receipts at special events are reconciled; audit staff said the issued ticket counts and cash reconciliation should match and that ticketing and cash reconciliation processes are standard controls.
