Resident raises audit concerns; commissioners say the issues are addressable
Summary
A resident told commissioners the county audit showed "numerous reporting errors" and said management did not respond; a commissioner said the recent audit was "much better" and that the identified problems were "very addressable."
During public input, a resident raised concerns about the county's recent audit, saying they read the report online and that it identified "numerous reporting errors" in county-prepared reports and that management "chose not to respond." The commenter also noted the county paid about $23,000 for the audit.
Unidentified Speaker 1 responded that they had spoken at length with Brandy (the auditor) and that the current audit was "much better than it had been two years ago" and that "the problems that we have are very addressable." The speaker added that Deb, who is relatively new in the auditor role, will improve over time through experience and collaboration with peers.
Other commissioners recalled that prior audits included many more deficiencies and said progress has been made compared with earlier years. Commissioners suggested continuing oversight and recommended additional coordination with staff (Rod, Brad) and possibly bringing more review earlier in the year to reduce year-end pressure.
No formal action was taken at the meeting specifically to change audit procedures; commissioners said they would continue to follow up with the auditor and staff and consider process adjustments in future meetings.
