Missouri State Auditor Nicole Galloway has released the audit of Nodaway County. The audit report includes information collected for the Dec. 31, 2014 audit period and lists the county’s overall performance rating as “good.”

Prior to this report, Nodaway County’s most recent audit was released in February 2012, which also included a “good” rating.

 

“Nodaway County has received a performance rating of ‘good,’ the second highest rating available, for two consecutive audits,” Galloway said. “While there were some areas of concern, the recommendations made by my office will assist county officials as they work to make improvements in county government operations.”

Audit staff noted findings in four audit areas. Of the 11 total findings, nine related to operations in the Sheriff’s office. These included lack of controls over the sheriff’s commissary accounting and receipting procedures, disbursement procedures, and tracking of civil and criminal process papers. Other finds include errors in reporting of county sales tax and proper accounting of fuel usage by the road and bridge department.
