A recent financial audit report of the Village of Adelphi in Ross County includes a $3,185 Finding for Recovery.
In a release from Auditor of State Keith Faber’s Office on Tuesday said the recovery finding was due to inadequate documentation.
Faber’s Office says the Village failed to provide documentation for a series of purchases between 2019 and 2020 at businesses such as Menards, Young’s Food Town and Amazon.
A Finding for Recovery was issued against former Fiscal Officer Art Wilson and his bonding company, Ohio Plan Risk Management Inc for a total of $3,185. $236 of that amount goes to the village’s General Fund, $133 to the village’s Motor Vehicle Fund and $2,789 goes to the village’s Sewer Operational Fund.
In Tuesday’s release, Faber said “The citizens of Adelphi deserve to know how the $3000 was spent and how it serves a proper public purpose."
