Powell County Audit Finds Deficits
KENTUCKY...
A state audit of Powell County's books shows more than $48,000 missing or undeposited from the jail commissary. State Auditor Crit Luallen's office notes the county jail is "extremely susceptible to fraud" because of many cash transactions there. Luallen recommended the jailer make sure all collections are deposited on each business day and reconciled with the receipts journal. Jailer Melvin Rogers said a commercial company has been operating the commissary since February. Rogers said two people must initial each cash receipt and two people now take daily deposits to the bank. Auditors who reviewed Powell County's fiscal year that ended June 30, 2009 found the county's general, jail and disaster emergency funds ran deficits of a combined $856,048.
