The Town of Jay Audit by the Office of the State Comptroller was released a few weeks ago, along with the corrective action plan approved by the Town of Jay Town Board in June. The audit covered the 22-month period from January 1, 2021 – October 31, 2022. When I took office at the end of November in 2021, I knew there were things I wanted to change in the operation of the Supervisor’s office. This audit supported a lot of the changes we were making, helped encourage some changes that were underway, and raised some issues I had not thought of. There was never any money missing from the Town of Jay, but there were issues with the timing of when some accounting entries were made for various reasons. I am available to go over the audit and the corrective action plan with anyone who is interested, or you can view it on the Comptroller Website at: https://www.osc.state.ny.us/files/local-government/audits/2023/pdf/jay-town-2023-22.pdf
