Commissioners agree to sign auditor response citing unreconciled cash and segregation issues
Summary
Commissioners approved signing a response to the federal audit that notes findings including unreconciled cash versus bank balances, lack of segregation of duties for tax receivables and unreconciled justice-court accounts; the county will add reconciliations to mid-month agendas.
Tammy Plater moved the county should sign the auditor response letter highlighting several findings and the commissioners voted to approve signing the letter. Plater said the purpose of the letter is to clarify audit findings and to show the public the commission has plans to address the deficiencies.
The letter and the motion call out: the inability to segregate duties on tax accounts receivable (with a plan for two‑person checks), cash balances that do not match bank statements and unreconciled justice court records. Plater said the commission will include cash-balance and AR reconciliation on the mid‑month agenda and take steps to hold staff accountable for correcting deficiencies. The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
