Staff presented the county's annual fraud‑risk assessment — a self‑evaluation for the transparency website asking about policies, separation of duties and ethical statements — and reported that Kane County’s assessed risk level is "very low." The presenter described the scoring process and said the assessment must be signed and uploaded to the state's transparency portal.
Commissioners asked clarification questions about training requirements for governing body members (one course must be completed within four years of appointment) and internal reconciliation procedures for the clerk and treasurer offices. Staff confirmed that reconciliations are performed and that the clerk reviews treasurer and clerk reconciliation reports for consistency. The commission did not take further formal action but recorded the assessment for upload.
