Clerk Treasurer Amy Borns discussed the State Board of Accounts Audit. The Audit was for the 2020 fiscal year. This started in the last week of December and was completed on the second week of March. Most of the items that were flagged are easily fixable. There was one item flagged that had to do with COVID funds. They received money for COVID but when it was transferred into the appropriation account the numbers got messed up and it was showing money missing. The funds were in fact in the account after checking. They need to do a capital asset inventory soon. They received 2 proposals for this from recommended CPAs and one proposal was far more detailed and had a set end date after 90 days. They would like this inventory to be done before the 2021 fiscal year audit. The board approved Mr. Peterson for the capital assets inventory.
