Duchesne County scores 375 of 395 on fraud risk assessment; commission approves report
Summary
Clerk‑Auditor Chelise Jessen told the Duchesne County Commission the county scored 375 out of 395 on a fraud risk assessment; commissioners approved the assessment and authorized Chairman Greg Miles to sign, noting the only missing point concerned a formal audit committee.
Clerk‑Auditor Chelise Jessen presented Duchesne County’s Fraud Risk Assessment Questionnaire at the Aug. 4 meeting and reported the county received 375 out of a possible 395 points.
Jessen said the only assessment item for which the county did not receive points related to whether the entity has a formal audit committee. Commissioners discussed the finding and agreed that, given the Clerk‑Auditor’s existing responsibilities and oversight role, a separate formal audit committee was not necessary at this time.
Commissioner Tracy Killian moved to approve the County Fraud Risk Assessment as presented and to authorize Chairman Greg Miles to sign the approval on behalf of the county; Commissioner Jeff Chugg seconded. Commissioners Killian, Chugg and Miles voted aye and the motion passed.
The recorded action directs that the approved assessment be signed and retained by county leadership; the minutes do not record any follow‑up tasks, timeline for establishing an audit committee, or dissenting votes.
