Approve The Treasurer's Financial Report Dated:
Dated August 31, 2015
Minutes
Mr. Cook presented his financial report and reviewed the following items:
Spending in August did not outpace revenue because of the receipt of property taxes.
Upcoming five-year forecast to be presented in October.
Completion of the annual financial audit took place this week, and a clean audit is again expected.
Discussed with the Board having Julian and Grube consult on agreed upon procedures to examine a couple departments each year outside of the scope of an audit to help maintain compliance. It provides another layer of control over our exsisting function as a department to maintain compliance. It also gives employees an understanding that our department is heavily scrutinized and they hear it straight from the auditors what items in their department could present challenges in an audit. Any issues are corrected in advance of an audit, which provides that extra layer of compliance for public funds.
Mr. Cook discussed an issue with compliance on Board policy that was brought to his attention and explained the matter was satisfactorily resolved.
