RALEIGH, (SGRToday.com) - An audit of the Town of Tarboro released by the state Auditor's office shows multiple issues of concern involving town employees and officials.
The report's summary is below:
--------------------------
Investigators determined that a former Town Manager made nearly $366,000 of purchases over a six-year period that exceeded the scope of his duties and obtained over $87,000 for life insurance premiums without Town Council approval.
Investigators also discovered that a former accounting clerk obtained over $30,000 in unemployment benefits for which she may not have been eligible and a former Electric Department director inappropriately received nearly $28,000 in reimbursements for his ex-wife’s health insurance.
In addition, the Town Council failed to adequately oversee town operations to ensure accountability.
