The Tennessee Comptroller’s Office identified six findings in its latest audit of Jackson County, raising concerns about financial oversight and internal controls.
The findings stem from financial records for the fiscal year ending on June 30, 2025. Three of the findings involved the County Mayor’s Office. That includes payroll accounts that were not properly reconciled, issues with purchasing procedures, and unclaimed funds that were not reported or turned over to the state.
The Circuit and General Sessions Court Clerk’s Office had one finding related to weaknesses in computer system backup procedures. The final two findings involved the Clerk and Master’s Office, where bank statements did not properly match the general ledger, and similar computer system backup deficiencies were identified.
The Comptroller’s Office said they have reviewed the findings with Jackson County Management.
