MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Tenn. – In response to the recent audit findings by the State Comptroller’s Office, County Mayor Jim Durrett has mailed a formal request to the State Comptroller for a complete and comprehensive investigative audit of Montgomery County Trustee’s Office.
A release from the Mayor’s Office said “significant deficiencies” were identified in the audit.
According to the Comptroller’s Office report from June 30, 2015, these deficiencies involved bank accounts that were not reconciled, financial reports that did not accurately summarize the office’s financial activity, and returned checks that had no supporting documentation.
The report said the deficiencies were due to a lack of management oversight.
Brenda Radford currently holds the office of Montgomery County Trustee.
The full report can be read on the Comptroller’s website. The report begins on page 275-276.
