ACCOUNTING RESPONSIBILITIES:
The Comptroller’s office audits all expenditures to ensure they are in compliance with the county budget and legally due and payable pursuant to state statues.  We also report the counties financial condition, maintain accurate records on all county assets, and process employee payroll for all departments.  We review grants administered by other departments for compliance, prepare audit information performed by independent auditors, and establish internal controls to help mitigate any threats of fraud.
