Audit of Sheriff Carona’s Travel Expenses Requested by Undersheriff Galisky
It
is worth mention that none of the federal charges
demonstrate
any
systemic misuse or abuse
November
7, 2007
Undersheriff
Jo Ann Galisky on Tuesday requested County
Auditor/Controller David
Sundstrom
to review Sheriff Carona’s recent travel and
spending accounts. The request
was
not based on any suspicion of misspending but it was
an act of due diligence in
response
to questions raised by Supervisor John Moorlach,
according to Galiski
Undersheriff
Galisky said that the scope of the audit ordered
Wednesday by the
county
oversight committee is unclear but she is confident in
the quality of work the
department’s
financial services division provides.
Rick
Dostal, director of Financial/Administrative Services
Division of the Sheriff’s
Department
said the county routinely audits the department’s
finances and to date he is
unaware
of any findings of corruption or intentional
misconduct. He added that the Sheriff’s Department
has 21 budgets with annual expenditures of
$707
million.
“We
run a transparent operation at the Sheriff’s
Department and invite the scrutiny
of
auditors so long as the demands do not interfere with
our mandate to provide public
protection.
We will provide all of the assistance we are able to
the county auditors,” said
Undersheriff
Galisky. “It is worth mention that none of the
federal charges demonstrate
any
systemic misuse or abuse
top priority to the review I recommended to him on Tuesday,” she said.
“I
believe the concerns and questions raised could have
been easily resolved through a
simple
call to the department, however, I welcome this review
in order to put the public’s
mind at ease,” Undersheriff Galisky said.
