Take a quick look at the State Audit of Boardman Township. Not only will you find many weaknesses but included in that is an oversight of $115k!
“To help ensure the Township’s financial statements are complete and accurate, the Township should adopt policies and procedures to identify and correct errors and omissions. In addition, the Township should review the financial statements and notes prior to submission for audit.” Find the full report here.
Boardman is in need of new policies to make sure this does not happen again. An overstatement in your budget could be catastrophic. An error such as this easily results in overspending or misused funds. Boardman needs to be held to the same standards as you and me.
After trying to look deeper into the issue I came across the Ohio Open Checkbook. Instead of finding details about the 2017 audit, instead I was greeted with a big empty hole for the entire years financial report. Where most of the years Open Checkbook has information 2017 has hardly any financial record. We need to work to have a more transparent financial record and more accountability.
If elected Fiscal Officer of Boardman Township, I will
- Strive to make our budget more transparent
- Assist each department to help secure additional grant funds
- Work to reduce the need for future levies, to help you keep more of the money you deserve.
