According to a recently released audit report filing from the State Board of Accounts (SBOA), in 2021 Harrison County “did not have a proper system of internal control in place to prevent, or detect and correct, errors during the financial close and reporting process.”
According to the SBOA, Harrison County did not transcribe formal minutes of commissioner or council meetings or maintain sufficient capital asset records, and failed to upload required monthly financial documents on time.
SBOA also details a lack of oversight and document keeping by the Harrison County Parks Department including lack of internal controls for fuel purchases, delinquent reporting of collections, and mismanagement of credit cards. SBOA has requested that Parks superintendent Larry Shickles reimburse the County $9216.73 for unsupported charges, interest, and penalties as of the statement ending date of April 28, 2022.
