Tennessee chides Polk County over audit results

BENTON, Tennessee (WDEF) – The state’s audit of Polk County Government has a dozen findings.

And many are repeats.

The findings questioned how officials handle and account for their budgets.

They found the most problems in the Road programs and Schools accounting.

“It is concerning to see repeated findings and continued noncompliance with state law,” said Comptroller Mumpower. “County officials must take prompt and sustained action to strengthen oversight, comply with statutory requirements, and ensure accurate and timely financial reporting.”

And that’s what they continue to find in Polk County.
