Newton Falls has 90 days to produce records

NEWTON FALLS

Incomplete financial records prompted Auditor of State Dave Yost to place the Village of Newton Falls on the “unauditable” list.

“Complete financial records shine a light on local governments,” Auditor Yost said. “Taxpayers should not be left in the dark on how their dollars are being spent.”

During the course of the regular financial audit of the for Jan. 1, 2014, through Dec. 31, 2014, the Auditor of State’s office determined that the condition of the village’s financial records was not adequate to complete the audit, according to a press release from the auditor’s office. In a letter to the village, the state auditor provided a list of records required to complete the audit.

Within 90 days of the date of the letter, the village must revise its financial records and provide the necessary data.
