State of Tennessee

At the TCSA Legislative Conference today, the Tennessee Comptroller of the Treasury Jason Mumpower recognized nine counties within the state that had clean audits for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023.

County governments are audited by the Comptroller’s Division of Local Government Audit, and audit findings are used to report on weaknesses, deficiencies, or areas of non compliance within government operations.

The counties that had audits with no findings are: Campbell, Cannon, Cumberland, Loudon, McMinn, Robertson, Sevier, Stewart, and Union.

“These nine counties have worked hard to ensure strong accounting procedures and a system of internal controls that protects public resources,” said Comptroller Mumpower. “A clean audit is not easy to achieve. Congratulations to all.”

This year’s honor is especially noteworthy for Cumberland County, as it is its THIRD clean audit year in a row.
