DEMING – The city of Deming received only two minor findings on its fiscal year 2018 financial audit.
Robert Gonzalez of Albuquerque-based Cordova, CPAs, the firm hired to perform the required annual audit, gave credit to staff – particularly Finance Director Laura Holguin – for their financial practices and cooperation during the audit.
Gonzalez described the two “non-compliance” findings as the lowest level of findings possible for governmental audits.
The first finding referenced three “stale-dated” checks totaling $261.29 as not being voided in a timely manner. The city reportedly has already implemented measures to catch these checks in the future.
The second finding related to an over payment for employee meals on official travel by approximately $22. Corrective measures reportedly also have been made to address the second finding and city employees are required to reimburse the city for meal allowance overages.
A copy of the audit is available on the New Mexico Office of the State Auditor’s webpage, www.saonm.org.
