If an audit revealed waste, fraud and abuse, what could actually be done?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3667628329690911598.post-49836165742074820832011-01-03T14:03:39.056-06:002011-01-03T14:03:39.056-06:00I think the audit committee is a step in the right...I think the audit committee is a step in the right direction. There needs to be some better form of accountablity. When our budgets are tight at home we don't go out and borrow more money, we tighten belts and cut back. I think having more citizens on committee's is also a good idea in that our citizens need to be more involved and understand the workings of our county and our officials need more involvement from the tax payers. Thanks Jonathan for all you do. If you need me to help out on a committee as a citizen, let me knowTim Harrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3667628329690911598.post-19402080746585275472011-01-03T12:38:02.681-06:002011-01-03T12:38:02.681-06:00The audit committee could be very useful if you ap...The audit committee could be very useful if you appoint people who know how to read financials and can run a cash-register.<br /><br /> What Robetson County needs is a Chief Financial Officer(CFO)that only answers to the Commission. We must hire someone that is a CPA and has been a successful CFO at a profitable company. With a qualified professional overseeing the financial affairs of all of the county's entities we will save more that the position will cost.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3667628329690911598.post-32907809139688089342011-01-03T10:57:55.868-06:002011-01-03T10:57:55.868-06:00Jonathan,

By incoporating more unelected citizens on Committees we train people to be commissioners and we also are in tuned to the tax payers. I haven't read the article but my question would be WHO would be on this audit committee? Would they expected to be compensated for their time? And would any suggestions they make be binding? I am open to any and all suggests that might help us.Steve Haleynoreply@blogger.com
