DeJa Vu- The Wheels of Government Turn Slow?

This was listed in our last posting, Pretty relevant to today's breaking news. Since WKVI wont post this, maybe this will get posted here.
We have a list of questions from what appears to be an official report from the State Board of Accounts-

This was posted back in June- Its now August? Why so long?

133 mistakes? isnt that an awful lot?
1.1 million dollars is the error...

What does overstated really mean? Would that mean someone is reporting money that is not really there?

Where is the State Attorney General? How come he is not looking into this?



COUNTY TREASURER
STARKE COUNTY
AUDIT RESULT AND COMMENT
ACCOUNTING RECORDS
Several posting errors were made in the County Treasurer's Daily Balance and Cash Depositories
Record, Form 47. The Treasurer had accumulated 133 individual errors totaling $1,102,670 at the
end of November 2009 which were corrected in January 2010 before the records were closed for 2009.
At December 31, 2009, the Treasurer's total of all Ledger Accounts Cash Funds balance was understated
$636,618 and the undistributed tax collections were overstated by approximately the same amount due to
not posting license excise tax and other undistributed funds properly at settlement.
The County Treasurer's Monthly Financial Reports, Form 47TR were not completed in a timely
manner throughout 2009. January through June reports were not completed until October 2009. July's
report was not completed until November 2009, August through October reports were not completed until
December 2009, and November and December reports were not completed until January 2010.
At all times, the manual and/or computerized records, subsidiary ledgers, control ledger, and
reconciled bank balance should agree. If the reconciled bank balance is less than the subsidiary or control
ledgers, then the responsible official or employee may be held personally responsible for the amount
needed to balance the fund. (Accounting and Uniform Compliance Guidelines Manual for County
Treasurers, Chapter 10)
Officials and employees are required to use State Board of Accounts prescribed or approved
forms in the manner prescribed. (Accounting and Uniform Compliance Guidelines Manual for County
Treasurers, Chapter 10)
