Harford audit recommends tighter security for county offices

An independent yearly audit gave Harford County?s budget department a clean bill of health for the past fiscal year, though auditors suggested changes to the office itself.

The Reznick Group told the County Council this week it found the county?s finances to be in full compliance with government accounting standards. Only a few problems were identified by the audit, including loose security in the county?s offices and lack of employee awareness of a fraud tipline, said Reznick auditor Daniel Kenney.
