Recent financial audits of the numerous entities across Ohio by Auditor of State Keith Faber have returned clean audit reports. Their record keeping has qualified them for the Auditor of State Award with Distinction, and five of them are located in the 1808Delaware coverage area.
Those include the following jurisdictions:
- City of Delaware
- Delaware County
- Liberty Township
- City of Dublin
- City of Westerville
By keeping accurate financial records, governing bodies demonstrate their commitment to efficient, effective, and transparent service,” Auditor Faber said. “This award honors public entities that have put in the hard work to keep their finances in order.”
