Missouri State Auditor Nicole Galloway has released a regularly scheduled audit of Mercer County, with the county receiving an overall performance rating of good.
The audit identified concerns with oversight in the sheriff’s office, including maintaining adequate records for purchases and sale of items to inmates. A physical inventory of seized property had also not been done.
The report also found the need to increase oversight in the prosecuting attorney’s and public administrator’s offices, including documentation of bank reconciliations and adequate review of accounting and bank records. Offices of the sheriff, ex-officio recorder of deeds and the prosecuting attorney were also cited for not having established adequate password controls to reduce te risk of unauthorized access to computers and data.
