Auditor asks Board to authorize independent payroll review after processing issues
Summary
Clinton County Auditor David Troester requested an independent review by the county's outside auditing firm of payroll transactions from roughly June through August to verify corrections and strengthen documentation; he said the County has been able to account for transactions reviewed so far but seeks a second review to ensure accuracy.
Clinton County Auditor David Troester asked the Board to consider commissioning the county's outside auditing firm to review payroll transactions from approximately June through August to verify payments, deductions, tax postings and corrections.
Troester said the goal is an independent verification that identified issues were corrected and that clear documentation is in place before the next county audit. As he put it, "The County has been able to account for the transactions reviewed so far but felt that an independent second review would help ensure accuracy and prevent errors from accumulating." The Board did not record a formal motion or funding allocation for the audit in the minutes; Troester presented the proposal and the Board discussed the request and next steps.
