Corrective Action: The Town of Guilderland Comptroller’s Office suffered significant turnover in key positions during the fiscal years of 2019 and 2021 including the retirement of the Town Comptroller and Fiscal Officer. The Town also implemented a new accounting software during 2018 that caused significant delays in the monthly and year-end reporting. Lastly, the COVID-19 pandemic had significant impact to the Town, particularly during 2020 when remote work was encouraged. This combination and sequence of events made it impossible to meet the required external audit reporting deadlines. Since these vents, the Town has filed the vacant positions and has scheduled all remaining audits. The auditors are working as expeditiously as possible to complete the remaining audits. The required reporting noted in the guidelines above cannot be completed until each prior year audit is finished, therefore causing a delay in each fiscal year’s reporting. Person(s) Responsible for Corrective Action: Darci Efaw, Comptroller & Jessica Gulliksen, Fiscal Officer Anticipated Completion Date for Corrective Action: The remaining audits that are left to become fully in compliance have been tentatively scheduled with the external auditors since 2022. The Town of Guilderland works as efficiently as possible with the auditors to complete these remaining audits.
