State audit gives county clean report
ANDERSON — The Indiana State Board of Accounts has given Madison County a clean audit for 2023.
The state audit for that year found no reported errors and no questioned costs.
The audit included audits of three public libraries: Pendleton, North Madison and Alexandria-Monroe.
The audit was conducted by the consulting firm of Forvis Mazars. The 2024 audit results should be reported in September.
Madison County Auditor Todd Culp said the audit revealed there were no significant deficiencies identified in internal controls over financial matters; no material weaknesses were identified; and no noncompliance was found.
'The results of the audit were exceptional,' Culp said. 'This was the first year (2023) we were mandated by the state to start GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) reporting since 2019 that we earned an unmodified audit.'
During the last meeting of the Madison County Commissioners, Culp gave credit for the audit report to former county auditor Rick Gardner, deputy auditor Robin Wagner, chief deputy Kara Clark and deputy Nicki Young.
Wagner heads up the local audit team and Young manages grant reporting for the county.
