‘Unauditable’ Mecca

CORTLAND

Incomplete financial records and bank reconciliations prompted Ohio Auditor Dave Yost to place Mecca Township on the “unauditable” list, the auditor’s office said Monday.

During the regular financial audit for Jan. 1, 2016, through Dec. 31, 2016, the independent public auditing firm of Perry & Associate noted incomplete records and bank reconciliations, the auditor’s office said.

As a result, the auditor’s office determined that the condition of the township’s financial records was not adequate to complete the audit. In a letter to the township, the auditor’s office provided a list of information 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. Failure to bring accounts, records, and reports to an auditable condition may result in legal action.
