Resident raises audit and treasurer reporting concerns as other delegates speak on local issues

During the public delegations portion of the meeting, a resident raised questions about county financial reporting and the treasurer’s compliance with state code after citing language from the auditor’s report noting “a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented or detected by the entity’s internal control over financial reporting.” The speaker asked what corrective steps had been implemented since the audit and whether the next audit would find improved controls.
