County auditor reports State Board of Accounts findings; most discrepancies corrected
Summary
Jackson County Auditor Melissa Gray reported State Board of Accounts findings from the 2024 audit including unreconciled transactions dating to 2023 and asset inventory deficiencies; Gray said most items have been corrected and remaining discrepancies will be reconciled using a payroll clearing account.
Melissa Gray, Jackson County Auditor, briefed the council on findings from the State Board of Accounts' review of the county's 2024 records, saying auditors flagged unreconciled transactions between the Treasurer's cash sheet and First Financial Bank statements dating back to 2023 and noted deficiencies in asset inventory procedures.
Gray told the council that prior auditors had not resolved the discrepancies flagged by the SBOA, but that the Treasurer and the current auditor's staff have corrected most items. She said remaining discrepancies will be reconciled using a payroll clearing account and that standardized payroll procedures and daily reconciliation are now in place. Asset-inventory process improvements are underway.
The council received the update for information only; no council action was required during the Dec. 17 meeting.
