Did the auditor general order a different auditor because corrective actions were not done in 2015? (like internal controls..or what?) I give.. Why did another auditor do the audit????Is it standard operating procedure or what? I can't figure it out. did the Tornado directly cause the loss of special revenue fund to be used and put in the general fund? Is that SOP? What is meant by HB & K “gave up” the audit?

I can’t figure it out.

did the Tornado directly cause the loss of special revenue fund to be used and put in the general fund? Is that SOP?

The deeper you dig the more interesting the story will get... @Digging Deeper – that audit was prepared by the CPA firm (HBK) that RTH had in his back pocket, need to find out why HBK gave up the audit and a big firm (Warren Averett) in P’Cola had to pick up the audit.

New Mayor and present town council, you should do like wise or you perpetuate the same thing. If no wrong doing has occurred then fine but if there has been then it was inappropriate, If grant money was earmarked for say, economic development or brownfield clean up or some thing was put into general fund and even if used for salaries or the utility, protocols were not followed. If the town was going into financial emergency it should have been reported to the state, not covered up. So what will it be? @Accountability,

Maybe it was an honest mistake and oversight. The town’s budget is on a larger scale than most of us would be use to. But wait y’all - this was ongoing for some time right, AND, the current mayor just recently got in office. Wait - the former mayor is still around to monitor the office and also and has the town’s CPA in his back pocket. Looks like these footsteps could lead somewhere close to this and there may be more issues going years back. We will have to stay posted to the updates on this. Let’s not jump to conclusions.
