Norfolk County commissioners accept FY24 audit citing treasury control findings

The Norfolk County Board of Commissioners voted April 29 to accept the county’s fiscal‑year‑2024 audit, which the presenter said includes findings related to treasury controls, recurring due‑to/due‑from accounting discrepancies and cash‑management reconciliation weaknesses.

“At issue were recurring issues with due‑to/due‑from accounting systems as well as some cash‑management and reconciliation matters,” the presenter told commissioners, noting the engagement began in early 2025 and that the report contains findings the county must address.

Commissioners were told a new deputy treasurer and Treasurer Botti will work to implement systems and monthly procedures to reconcile those accounts so discrepancies are cleared for the FY25 trial balance. The presenter said the FY25 audit fieldwork has already begun.

The board moved, seconded and approved acceptance of the FY24 audit as presented. No roll‑call vote totals were read into the record; a voice vote approved the motion.

The county director told commissioners staff will return with steps to address the auditor’s recommendations and to report progress in subsequent financial updates.
