Trumbull township's records 'unauditable' says state auditor's office

COLUMBUS — Greene Township, on the northern border of Trumbull County, has been placed on the “unauditable” list as a result of inadequate financial records, Auditor of State Dave Yost said today.

“Poorly kept books create a lack of accountability,” Yost said. “Greene Township must bring its records back to an auditable condition to complete the audit.”

During the course of the regular financial audit of Greene Township for the period Jan. 1, 2012, through Dec. 31, 2013, it was determined the condition of the township’s financial records were not adequate to complete the audit.

In a letter to the township, the auditor’s office provided a list of records required to complete the audit.

Within 90 days of the date of the letter, the township must revise its financial records and provide the necessary data. An entity is removed from the “unauditable” list once the audit is completed and released to the public.
