Lake County’s financial director described the county’s record-keeping — both before and after the transition to the new accounting platform Oracle — as a “dumpster fire.”
“We need to address the roots of the problem,” Schmal said. He said the skillset was lacking in the auditor’s office when the system went live and that has caused problems that will need to be addressed.He said a step in the right direction is the hiring of a comptroller by the auditor’s office. The council approved the new position earlier this year. Lake County Auditor Peggy Katona said she has hired an MBA with an accounting background to work in the spot.
The Lake County Commissioners hired Baker Tilly to remediate the problems that arose with the 2022 audit.“We have disengaged while they otherwise try to remedy their issues,” Leatherman wrote in the email. Commission President Michael Repay, D-Hammond, said the $2.8 million contract with Baker Tilly is multi-faceted. Fixing the problems with the 2022 audit will cost about $75,000 Repay said. The remainder of the contract will be aimed at optimizing Oracle.
