At its March 2 meeting, the Hertford County Board of Commissioners heard a presentation on the FY 2025 audit and approved the January 31, 2026 Financial Board Report.

The Hertford County Board of Commissioners on March 2 heard a presentation on the county’s FY 2025 audit and approved the January 31, 2026 Financial Board Report.
Tim Zeng, a representative of Thompson, Price, Scott, Adamas & Co., P.A., told the board the audit was submitted on time and is being processed by the State of North Carolina, which will issue general comments and required communications under SAS 114; copies of the audit results will be on file in the county Finance Office. Finance Director Sanethia Smith presented the Financial Board Report to the board.
On a motion by Commissioner Ronald J. Gatling, seconded by Commissioner Leroy Douglas II, the board approved the January 31, 2026 Financial Board Report. The transcript records the motion and the second but does not include a roll-call vote or a tally of yes, no or abstentions.
Chairman Andre' M. Lassiter, Sr. convened the meeting; County Manager William Shanahan Jr., Clerk to the Board Dr. Renee Tyler and County attorney Maria Jones were noted as present, and Attorney Charles L. Revelle III was listed as absent. Pastor Sandy Outlaw delivered the invocation before business began.
Why it matters: The presentation and the board’s acceptance of the financial report are routine steps in county financial oversight. State processing of the audit and the required SAS 114 communications are standard parts of finalizing the audit record and may include the State's comments for the county to address. The April filing status or any State comments were not recorded at the meeting.
Next steps: The audit will remain on file in the Finance Office as it is processed by the State of North Carolina; the transcript records no further action or vote tally on the Financial Board Report at this meeting.
