Funny how Boutwell says in the real world he would be fired. Newsflash. This is the real world. Is someone afraid of blackmail or are they all incompetent?

So Dig Deeper what do you mean exactly?

Dug deeper and my assessment basically is that an article will be coming out soon. You give enough rope people hang them selves. A wise person recognizes a lost cause. Hopefully there will be no scapegoats. But we know how the Good ole Boy network works in eScambia County. The CRA is a lost cause as is the sawmill being cleaned up.

Not following proper accounting procedures and lacking enough revenue are separate issues. Both needs to be addressed quickly.

The accountants complaint about the accounting software not being upgraded is ridiculous. There was a time where a ledger and pen sufficed. That is his responsibility. Also it is his responsibility that proper daily, weekly, monthly procedures are in place and followed by the clerks so that when auditors come around there won’t be a rush.

The late audit will probably alert the joint legislative auditing committee since it was uncorrected for another year The ongoing misappropriation of funds will not be able to be corrected the State will mostly likely come in and then perform operational audit. Most likely the good ole boys didn’t under go a grand jury investigation. I am wondering about keeping the sewer and water going. I suppose its a matter of time. Who is stepping up for the election. What happens if no one does?

REGARDING:
“@David Huie Green, this isn’t about whether or not the TOC makes enough money.”

It partly is. Sure, the focus is on Robert’s performance, but the audit is bound to indicate they are failing. It should help them see the areas of failure but needing to shift funds around won’t change the fact.

“They are paying the CPA real good money to prepare their books on a monthly basis and he can’t even get the books to the auditor in time for them to file a timely audit report. You don’t have a problem with that?”

Nope. I don’t live in Century.

If the reason he couldn’t do it in time is that the information needed was not supplied in a timely manner, then I would be silly to think it would all become perfect with a different accountant. Try it and see if it makes you happy.

David for the class of ‘72

As the screen name implies “Oversight”…. Which means the act of overseeing government action. Here the accountant that Century has hired is not performing according to contract. Time to move in a new direction.

Dig for David Huie Green seeing the real issues and not the smoke screen.

Not making enough money to pay the bill may not be the accountant’s fault.
