Charlevoix County tables request for forensic accounting services from Plante Moran
Summary
The board heard an estimate from Plante Moran for forensic accounting services (estimated $25,000–$30,000), declined immediate authorization of the requested $15,000 and voted to table the request until May 13 for further review; motion carried 5-0.
County Administrator Kevin Shepard presented information from Plante Moran about forensic accounting services after the Treasurer requested an audit. The firm estimated the work would be billed hourly with a likely total between $25,000 and $30,000. Administrator Shepard asked the board to authorize $15,000 to begin work and said he would return with an update once funds were exhausted.
The board voted to table the request to allow time for review and to return the matter at the May 13 meeting. The minutes record that all communications from auditors will be directed through Civil Counsel.
No contract was authorized at the April 22 meeting; the board asked for additional review time before any expenditure.
