City awarded Auditor of State Award The City of Eaton was presented with the Auditor of State Award during the Monday, Oct. 18, city council meeting. Joe Braden, West Regional liaison for Ohio Auditor of State Keith Faber, visited the meeting to present the award to Eaton Finance Director Stephanie Hurd. According to Braden, the Auditor of State Award is presented to local governments and school districts upon the completion of a financial audit that meets specific criteria of a “clean” audit report. This includes filing the report by the due date in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP); the report not containing any findings for recovery, material citations, material weaknesses, significant deficiencies, uniform guidance findings or questioned costs; and the management letter containing no comments related to ethics referrals, questioned costs less than the threshold, lack of timely, public meetings or public records issues, bank reconciliation issues, and the entity has no other financial or other concerns. According to Braden, the Auditor of State’s office audits nearly 6,000 entities and fewer than 8 percent of all entities that are audited are even eligible for this award. Congratulations and thank you, Finance Director Hurd! No trash pick up delays on Thanksgiving There will be no delays in trash collection on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, Nov. 25.
