TN Comptroller’s Office releases latest audit report for Carter County

The Tennessee Comptroller’s Office has released its latest audit report for Carter County for the 2024 fiscal year, which ended June 30. It includes five key findings, four of which were in the office’s report for 2023. The 2024 audit report cut the number of noted findings in half from the previous report for fiscal year 2023.  Findings included non-compliance concerns such as purchasing deficiencies and also deficiencies in the budget operations in Carter County. The report said that the deficiencies can be attributed to management’s failure to correct the findings noted in the prior-year audit and the failure to implement a corrective action plan. The audit also said that the county made “significant improvements in reporting and reconciling general ledger account balances” in the latest report.
