State comptroller report: Henderson finances lax

HENDERSON — According to a press release from the state comptroller's office regarding the town's audit, internal controls over specific financial operations need tightening.

Auditors for the comptroller's office found that town employees did not issue receipts for cash transactions including $18,320 worth of construction and demolition disposal fees and $5,130 in vending machine water sales for 2008.

Supervisor Raymond A. Walker said he and the board are planning to establish workshops in order to comply with the suggestions made by the auditors. Mr. Walker said he wrote a letter in response to the audit draft stating that the town would adhere to the guidelines.
