Audit Suggests Seneca Falls Improve Collections Records

A recent audit by the state Comptroller’s office found that one Finger Lakes town supervisor’s office failed to keep adequate receipt records for collections totaling over $186,000 and reconciliations were not always performed or reviewed.

The audit also found the town of Seneca Falls did not properly deposit and record approximately $10,000 of permit fees and $2,000 for security deposits for facility rentals. The comptroller’s audit, which covered January of 2021 through March 17th of this year, also found the town board did not adopt a written town-wide cash collection policy.

Town officials have accepted recommendations made by the state and planned to initiate corrective action.

The entire audit can be viewed below:
