The County Auditor must
audit all bills approved for payment by the Board of County
Commissioners before warrants are issued. It must be confirmed that
charges are legitimate and that there are adequate funds to cover the
payments in the proper departmental budgets.
Other duties include
bid law compliance, ensuring that prevailing wage documents for public
works projects have been provided and that retainage is withheld from
each payment.
Further duties of the
Auditor in this department include acting as disbursing officer for
taxing districts, for example, a fire district. The Auditor is required
to keep warrant registers and maintain payroll records, including the
submission of federal and state reports relating to the payment of bills
and payroll along with the year end 1099 and W2 reports.
The law requires the
Auditor to examine the County Treasurer’s books each month to check for
accuracy. The Auditor is responsible for numerous reports concerning
county fiscal affairs, which are periodically turned over to the Board
of County Commissioners and the State Auditor. In addition, the Auditor
is involved with both the preparation and administration of the county
budget.
