Treasurer says audit filed on time but criticizes auditors; county to review contract
Summary
Mackinac County Treasurer Tina Massey reported the audit was completed and submitted on the filing deadline but said she and the county clerk were unhappy with the auditors' process and will review the contract to determine whether early termination is possible.
During the July 10 meeting, Treasurer Tina Massey told the board the county's audit was completed and submitted on the required deadline but described the auditors' conduct as unsatisfactory, saying work felt —last minute.— Clerk Hillary Vowell expressed similar dissatisfaction in the minutes.
Both officials said they plan to review the auditor contract to determine whether the county can end the agreement a year early; no motion to terminate the contract was recorded in the minutes.
The minutes also note Prosecutor Stuart Spencer submitted a letter about the status of his MERS retirement request; the letter was included with the meeting materials. The transcript does not record additional discussion or board action on the audit contract or the prosecutor's retirement matter.
The board took no formal action at the meeting to change auditors; the clerk and treasurer indicated staff will examine contractual options and return with recommendations if necessary.
