Commissioner seeks limited forensic audit after CFO job posting appears on county site
Summary
Commissioner Ed Beaudette asked the commission to require a limited forensic audit of county financial records after a Chief Financial Officer job posting appeared on the county website; he said a compliance audit "doesn't reflect those types of things." The commission did not take immediate formal action on the request.
During miscellaneous business Commissioner Ed Beaudette said a Chief Financial Officer position had been posted on the county website and requested a limited forensic audit of county financial records as part of the transition. Beaudette noted the county performs an annual compliance audit but said a forensic audit is more suited to finding irregularities when there is long-term individual access to finance documents.
Beaudette asked for either a motion or direction to initiate a forensic review so the incoming CFO can begin with a clear record. The commission did not record a formal vote on a forensic audit in the meeting minutes; commissioners and staff discussed other miscellaneous topics (ice rink refrigeration equipment delays), and CEO Everett said he expected the county to present a plan for reuse of the Wells Fargo building by the end of January.
