Trustee urges cutting ties with Odoni Partners after trouble uploading 2022 report
Summary
Officials reported Odoni Partners is unable to log into the Comptroller’s website to upload Carbon Cliff’s 2022 financial report; Trustee Robert Dreher urged switching to WipFli for the 2023 and 2024 audits and asked staff to contact the Comptroller about a grievance.
The board discussed problems with the village's audit firm, Odoni Partners, which has been unable to log into the Illinois Comptroller’s website to upload the 2022 financial report. Director Nick Gottwalt said he will have the clerk contact Odoni to attempt to use the village’s login credentials and that he will check with the Comptroller’s office about whether the village can file a grievance.
Trustee Robert Dreher said he wants the village to "cut ties with Odoni and have another firm do the audit," and the minutes record the board’s plan to have WipFli begin audits for 2023 and 2024 if Odoni cannot complete the filing. The board did not adopt a formal termination at the June 17 meeting; the actions recorded were direction to staff to contact Odoni and to check with the Comptroller’s office.
