City awarded Auditor of State Award

The City of Eaton was presented with the Auditor of State Award during the Monday, April 15, city council meeting.

Joe Braden, West Regional Liaison for Ohio Auditor of State Keith Faber, presented the award to Eaton Finance Director Stephanie Hurd.

According to Braden, the Auditor of State Award is presented to local governments and school districts upon the completion of a financial audit that meets specific criteria of a “clean” audit report.

This includes filing the report by the due date in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP); the report not containing any findings for recovery, material citations, material weaknesses, significant deficiencies, uniform guidance findings or questioned costs; and the management letter containing no comments related to ethics referrals, questioned costs less than the threshold, lack of timely, public meetings or public records issues, bank reconciliation issues, and the entity has no other financial or other concerns.
