Montmorency County accepts FY25 audit, directs corrective action on material weaknesses
Summary
The Montmorency County Board accepted its FY25 financial audit, acknowledged two material weaknesses in internal controls, and directed the treasurer to deliver a written Corrective Action Plan within 60 days with periodic updates to the Board.
The Montmorency County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously June 25 to accept the County’s FY2025 Annual Financial Audit and to require a written Corrective Action Plan to address identified weaknesses.
Auditor Sandra Edwards presented the audit findings to the Board. Commissioner Mary Hardies moved to accept the audit, and the Board “acknowledges Audit Findings 2025-01 and 2025-02, which identified material weaknesses in internal controls related to tax settlement procedures, statutory receipting requirements, and financial reporting controls,” according to the motion language the Board approved. The motion directs the County Treasurer to provide a written Corrective Action Plan within 60 days that identifies corrective measures, implementation timelines, and responsible offices, and it requires periodic status updates until the findings are resolved.
The Board also asked that the county’s external auditors review the status of the findings during the FY2026 audit and report on the effectiveness of corrective actions. As part of the Board’s response, it approved a three-day on-site BS&A Software training package for the Treasurer’s Office at a cost of $2,450, to be paid from the Delinquent Tax Revolving Fund, citing the training as directly related to addressing the audit findings.
Commissioner Hardies, in moving the measures, framed them as steps to strengthen tax administration and reporting. The Board’s acceptance of the audit and the directive to the Treasurer represent formal, recorded action; the motions passed 5–0.
