Audit shows no major deficiencies

    GRUNDY CENTER — The city of Grundy Center continues to be in a solid financial position after its Fiscal 2013 audit showed no major deficiencies.
    Renee Messing of the Clifton Larson Allen accounting firm presented the audit, noting only issues that have been ongoing concerns for the city, including segregation of duties in handling financial documents. As has been the case in past years, the audit was reported as adverse/qualified because Grundy Center Municipal Utilities is not included. After Messing’s presentation, Councilman Dave Stefl asked whether this would be a good time for the City to include GCMU in its audit. Mayor Brian Buhrow also asked Messing what steps the City could take to alleviate the concerns about segregation of duties.
    Messing’s report showed no findings of non-compliance and no questions about disbursements, travel for spouses or business transactions between the city and city officials or employees.
