A financial and compliance audit of various county operating funds in Sullivan County for the two-year period ending Dec. 31, 2000 has been released.
The audit listed concerns involving mid-term salary increases given county commissioners for a two-year period ending on Dec. 31, 2000, which the state auditor?s office said should be repaid based on a Missouri Supreme Court decision issued on May 15, 2001. The raises total approximately $17,000.
The audit also indicated 911 board meeting minutes were not available and that those located were not usually signed by 911 officials to indicate approval. Adequate documentation to support salary reimbursements to the Special Road and Bridge Fund for a 911 employee was not maintained and no written agreement exists between the county and the 911 board to document who pays the various 911 employees. The audit also noted weaknesses in the areas of cash receipts, time keeping, fixed assets and other contractual relations.
The audit also stated that the county health center needs to improve controls over cash receipts, bidding procedures, board meetings and minutes and the monitoring of contractual costs. The auditor?s office also suggested the county review matters related to budget and financial statements, computer controls, property records and procedures and personnel and payroll policies and take appropriate corrective action.
