The state comptroller’s office has audited how the Village of Skaneateles audits claims.
The audit ran from June 1, 2022, to March 28, 2024, and sought to determine if the village’s claims were adequately supported, appropriate, and properly audited and approved prior to payment.
According to the comptroller’s report, the 348 claims reviewed were appropriate village expenditures; however, the board did not audit all claims before payment with some claims either not adequately supported or paid without approval. This increases the risk that goods and services are not procured in the taxpayers’ best interests.
Village officials agreed with the comptroller’s recommendations to improve its claims auditing process.
