Kalkaska commissioners require treasurer to file sworn bank reconciliations by June 9
Summary
The Kalkaska County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to require County Treasurer Tracey to submit, under oath, bank reconciliations for all accounts from December 2024 through April 2026 and evidence that bank statements are uploaded into BS&A by June 9, 2026, amid ongoing audit work and concerns about missed payments and IRS penalties.
The Kalkaska County Board of Commissioners voted May 20 to require County Treasurer Tracey to file a sworn report by the close of business on June 9 detailing bank reconciliations for all accounts from December 2024 through April 2026 and proof that bank statements have been uploaded into the BS&A software. Commissioner Jeff Sieting moved the requirement under MCL 46.11(k); the motion passed on a 6-0 roll-call vote with one commissioner absent.
The vote follows an audit update provided by County Accountant Hervey, who told the board Manor's audit work "[is] possible completion this week (5-22-26)" and emphasized that "the immediate focus must be the bank reconciliations to accomplish the 2025 audit." Commissioners noted concerns about how Treasurer functions processed ACH/ETF payments and the risk of IRS penalties if reconciliations were incomplete. The board asked that financial reports be validated by Manor and Accountant Hervey and set a clear, sworn deadline for the treasurer to produce the reconciliations and BS&A evidence.
