Closeout audit of former Attorney General Josh Hawley's office reveals shoddy procedures, lack of documentation

(From State Auditor Nicole Galloway)

State Auditor Nicole Galloway has released an audit of the Attorney General's Office covering the period from Jan. 9, 2017 to Jan. 3, 2019. The report gave a rating of "fair."

The audit found the Attorney General's Office did not always take adequate measures to minimize travel costs, and could not provide documentation to support the prior approval of relocation expenses. 










The audit also reported the office did not maintain complete and accurate vehicle usage logs and did not make use of available tools to determine the most cost-effective option for vehicle use. 

The audit also discussed lack of written engagement letters with some outside counsel and expert witnesses, found the office had not established policies and procedures over accounts receivable collections and records, and identified procedural weaknesses over capital assets and payroll.

The closeout audit can be found here.

This is the people of Missouri vote for and support, shoddy workmanship and who only knows what back room dealings he and others in the party have done. He supports Trump who lies without stopping to think of what he has done, but as long as his 38% of knuckle scraped believers are out there he will continue. Only good thing is that NY state AG is waiting for him to leave the WH after they deal with the NRA.
