Supplemental Letter to Cincinnati’s External Auditor (8.21.26)

 

Supplemental Letter to Clark, Schaefer, Hacket 8.21.26

Washington v. Cincinnati Appeals Court 8.13.26

This letter along with my July 9, 2026 letter to Clark, Schaefer and Hacket are trying to convey to the auditor what the operation, i.e., the “control environment,” in the city government is like with respect to internal controls and overall compliance in the city’s programs and operations.

If the auditor’s report cites weaknesses in the area of internal controls and compliance, the city will have to fix those weaknesses before they come off the auditor’s list. It may not seem like much but that is the idea in alerting Clark, Schafer, Hacket to these matters.
