County treasurer says 'no missing dollars,' outlines reconciliation role

Butch Freeman, Oklahoma County Treasurer, told the board his office follows statutory responsibilities for cash management and that the treasurer’s records show every county dollar accounted for. Freeman asked to have a short statement entered into the record and said his office balances cash daily and knows which bank and fund each dollar belongs to.

"I can assure you... there are no missing dollars. There never was, and there's not today," Freeman said, adding that the treasurer’s office welcomes any audit and would assist. Freeman noted his office has operated under the same accounting system since 2000 and had not previously experienced issues with differing systems working together.

His remarks were offered amid broader discussion about reconciling the County Clerk's records with the Treasurer's cash balances and a DA‑drafted resolution asking for monthly reconciliation between the two offices.
