State Auditor Nicole Galloway’s office has begun an audit of the Greene County government.  That follows a formal request from the county commission earlier this year.

Last December, Galloway asked the commission to authorize the audit after a whistleblower complaint alleged improper use of public resources in connection with a ballot issue.

Galloway says the audit will explain in detail any issues her office finds and will provide recommendations for officials to address them. 

According to her office, the State Auditor's Office has been working with  County Administrator Chris Coulter and County Auditor Cindy Stein to ensure the audit can be completed as efficiently and effectively as possible. 

Galloway encourages residents with information that might be helpful to contact her office. To submit information to the State Auditor’s Whistleblower Hotline, go to auditor.mo.gov/hotline, email moaudit@auditor.mo.gov or call 800-347-8597.
