Moniteau County government begins regularly scheduled audit from state

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

The Missouri Auditor’s Office announced in a Monday press release that it is beginning its scheduled audit of Moniteau County.

The Auditor’s Office last audit of Moniteau County was in 2017, where the county was given a rating of “good.”

The release says that its last audit found the county did not “have adequate processes in place to track and account for capital assets such as equipment and vehicles. This was the fifth time this concern has been identified in an audit.”

The release says the county collector’s office was rated “fair” in the 2017 audit, “as it identified errors in the annual settlement that was filed by the former collector for the previous fiscal year. The report also recommended better procedures for issuing receipts, reconciling bank accounts and accounting for disbursement obligations.”
