ALBANY – An audit of the town clerk’s operations in Greenport has recommended improvements to the financial operations. The state comptroller’s office studied the clerk’s office for the period of January 1, 2015 through September 23, 2016.
Key findings included that the clerk did not issue press-numbered duplicate receipts for all transactions and did not perform monthly back reconciliations and that the clerk did not submit a monthly report of all money received and dispersed to the supervisor and did not make disbursements to the supervisor and state agencies in a timely manner.
The audit also found that the town board did not provide adequate oversight of the clerk’s financial activities and did not provide for an annual audit of her records.
The state auditors said the clerk should institute the procedures that were omitted.
In response to the review, Town Supervisor Edward Nabozny said the findings are accurate and that the town has “already taken steps to implement corrective action to address the audit recommendations.”
