County staff explain $39,000 audit line-item; commissioners ask for consistent accounting
Summary
Finance staff told the commission a $39,000 miscellaneous receiving line in the employee-benefits fund resulted from reclassification and will be corrected in the audit; commissioners requested year-over-year consistency and confirmation that the fund is not negative.
Commissioners questioned a $39,000 figure appearing in the audit for the employee-benefits fund. Finance staff explained the fund itself is not negative and that past year bookkeeping placed items under a single miscellaneous receiving line; reclassification of line items this year produced the $39,000 entry that will be fixed in the audit.
"And that 39,000 that they're pulling from is just miscellaneous receding," a staff member said during the discussion, describing the accounting shift. Commissioners asked staff to present the audit with comparable year-over-year accounting treatment and to confirm what goes back into the originating fund; staff said they would follow up and that the figure will be corrected in the final audit filings.
