Accountant Presents Plan To Correct Century Audit Findings
June 21, 2018
Century’s accountant presented a draft “corrective action plan” Wednesday afternoon with details on how the town can correct negative audit findings.
The town’s most recent audit, covering the fiscal year ending in September 2016, found deteriorating financial conditions that could result in a future “financial emergency”, $3.83 million in transferred special revenue funds that must be repaid, $1.4 million in expenditures in violation of state statutes, over $5,000 in a bank account that did not appear on the books and other deficiencies.
The plan outlined by accountant Robert Hudson proposes fixes and changes for each finding.
he audit found the town had borrowed nearly $4 million from a special revenue fund and those funds should be repaid.
Hudson said about $600,000 derived from the local option gas tax was borrowed from the special revenue fund, but those dollars can be reclassified as operating transfers, not a loan, because Florida law allows the funds to be used for “street maintenance”. And about $1.5 million can be reclassified as transfers for certain infrastructure items and vehicles.
As for the nearly $2 million in loans from special revenue, Hudson said the town should start a repayment plan from the general fund, even if just a few hundred dollars per month.
The bank account not included in the general ledger, as found by the audit, was a “clearing account” where daily deposits were deposited into an account and transferred each day, Hudson said. Once the town started receiving credit cards that settlement would not occur for a few days after submission to the bank, leaving a balance in the account.
Hudson’s corrective action plan will be considered during a special council meeting on Monday, June 25 at 4 p.m.
Luis Gomez and Sandra McMurray-Jackson were the only council members present at Wednesday’s workshop. Ann Brooks, Ben Boutwell and Gary Riley did not attend.
