Missouri State Auditor Nicole Galloway has released the DeKalb County audit report, which lists the overall performance rating as "fair."
Auditors identified findings related to records and review processes to ensure accuracy of the property tax system, tracking and documenting of seized property in the sheriff's office and inappropriate additional compensation paid to the county's presiding commissioner.
"The residents of DeKalb County deserve a government that is efficient and accountable to its citizens," Galloway said. "My office's report provides clear recommendations to improve procedures and operations in county offices."
The audit also identified inadequate computer controls and safeguards in multiple county offices.
Prior to this report, DeKalb County's most recent audit report was released in March 2012 with a performance rating of "fair."
Performance audits receive a rating on a scale of excellent, good, fair and poor. The determination is made based on the scope and severity of findings. The DeKalb County audit report, which received a rating of "fair," can be found here.
