Personnel from the Ohio Auditor of State’s Office and the Clark County Sheriff’s Office were notified of the incident.
Crew said the district contracted with an independent Certified Public Accountant (CPA) firm out of Columbus, which she said was recommended by the auditor’s and sheriff’s offices.
“Personnel from the firm are currently reviewing our bank reconciliations,” she said. “To the best of our knowledge and according to the former senior accountant, this was a circumstance of falsifying monthly reconciliation documents as he reported he was unable to balance. At this time, we have no reason to suspect an actual theft of funds.”
According to the auditor’s office, they “are aware of the situation,” but cannot discuss the incident until it’s completed and released by the office.
An internal and external investigation is ongoing.
