Montee Says “Duty of Board to Oversee Finances”

State Auditor Susan Montee held a conference call this morning to discuss the State’s audit of the Village of Leawood.  During the conference call, Montee stated that the “ultimate responsibility” for oversight of Leawood’s finances rested with the Board of the city.  She called the failure of the Board to do that oversight “very sad”.

Many things required by state law were not being done in Leawood, according to Montee.  Those included simple tasks such as preparing and submitting annual budgets.
