For the third year in a row, Cumberland County has earned a clean audit.
County governments are audited by the Comptroller’s Division of Local Government Audit, and audit findings are used to report on weaknesses, deficiencies, or areas of non compliance within government operations.
Cumberland County Mayor Allen Foster and County Finance Director Jennifer Turner accepted the clean audit award at the Tennessee County Services Association Legislative Conference in Gatlinburg on Wednesday (May 22, 2024).
In addition to Cumberland, only 8 other counties had audits with no findings: Campbell, Cannon, Loudon, McMinn, Robertson, Sevier, Stewart, and Union.
“These nine counties have worked hard to ensure strong accounting procedures and a system of internal controls that protects public resources,” said Comptroller Jason Mumpower. “A clean audit is not easy to achieve. Congratulations to all.”
