Perquimans County commissioners accept FY25 audit, approve audit contract changes and $73,000 FY26 audit cap
Summary
The Perquimans County Board of Commissioners unanimously accepted the FY25 audit, approved a $2,000 amendment to the FY25 audit contract to cover LGC compliance requirements, and approved a FY26 audit contract with a stated maximum cost of $73,000; the board also approved a budget amendment to fund DSS professional services.
The Perquimans County Board of Commissioners unanimously accepted the county’s FY25 audit at a March 18 special called meeting, the board’s minutes show.
Austin Eubanks of Thompson, Price, Scott, Adams & Co., P.A., presented the FY25 audit report via Zoom, after which Commissioner Timothy J. Corprew moved to accept the audit "as presented." The motion was seconded by Commissioner Kathryn M. Treiber and approved by all members present.
Finance Officer Tracy Mathews requested two contract approvals tied to the county’s auditing work. The board approved an amendment to the FY25 audit contract to increase the fee by $2,000 to cover compliance requirements the Local Government Commission added mid‑year. The board later approved the FY26 audit contract with the same firm, noting a stated maximum cost of $73,000; Timothy J. Corprew moved to approve the FY26 contract, James W. Ward seconded, and the motion carried unanimously.
The board also approved Budget Amendment No. 20 to amend the FY25/26 General Fund to include funding for Department of Social Services (DSS) professional services and to reallocate payroll-related lines. The amendment lists a $225,000 increase to the DSS professional services line and adjustments to DSS salaries and benefits to cover related costs; Joseph W. Hoffler moved to approve the budget amendment, James W. Ward seconded, and the board unanimously adopted the measure.
No dissent or recorded objections appear in the minutes; all motions were recorded as unanimously approved. The items were routine approvals recorded in the special called meeting’s minutes and do not include further detail on contract scopes beyond the fee changes and the stated cap.
