COURT HOUSE — County Chief Financial Officer Edmund J. Grant is proud of the fact for three years running the county has achieved an audit “without comment.”
He’s not so happy that streak was broken this year.
County freeholders July 10 accepted the county audit report for 2006 which contained one finding regarding the county library system: the main library bank account was not reconciled throughout 2006, and branches are not entirely recording daily receipts nor issuing library cards in order.
The audit recommended the library account be reconciled on a monthly basis, and that each branch accurately record all receipts and issue library cards in numerical order.
The numbering of library cards is a relatively minor issue, he said, but the lack of a monthly bank reconciliation is not.
Grant said measures have been taken to rectify the problem. A Corrective Action Plan was approved July 24 by freeholders.
Grant said that plan involved reorganizing personnel and providing training from the county’s internal auditor. A Corrective Action Plan is required by law when a comment is issued, he said. The implementation of the plan is almost complete, he said this week.
“Our internal auditor is helping them to get current and get the necessary systems in place going forward,” Grant said.
