The Clinton County Collector and Property Tax System audit has shown improvement in a follow-up after earning a rating of “poor” the first go-round.

In February the county earned an overall performance rating of “poor” by the Missouri State Auditor’s office after $46,208 in cash was found stashed in a closet.

The follow-up does not give an overall rating but says improvements have been made.

The audit said “Based on an inspection of the office, including the closet where money was previously found, all monies seem to be adequately stored either in a cash drawer or in the safe.”

State Auditor Nicole Galloway said officials have acted on recommendations.

The follow-up review for the Clinton County Collector and Property Tax System audit was primarily conducted in June and July 2015.
