State Auditor Nicole Galloway said
today her office has begun regularly scheduled audits of Schuyler County and
Sullivan County, both located in northern Missouri. Schuyler County received an
overall rating of "good" in its most recent audit, issued in June 2015. The most recent audit of Sullivan County was completed in
December 2016, with the county receiving an overall rating of "poor."
A follow-up report on Sullivan County operations,
released in 2017, showed county officials had made progress addressing the
issues reported in the audit.
"These audits will provide independent
reviews of county government operations to ensure taxpayer resources have been
used appropriately and to recommend improvements that will better serve
citizens," Auditor Galloway said. "If anyone in the community has
feedback that may be helpful, I encourage them to reach out through my
Whistleblower Hotline."
Individuals
who would like to provide information for consideration in these audits or any
audit may contact the State Auditor's Whistleblower Hotline at moaudit@auditor.mo.gov or by calling 800-347-8597. Concerns may also be submitted
anonymously online at auditor.mo.gov/hotline.
