City's internal auditor could be hired by April

Posted online
Springfield City Council on Monday night heard a proposal to create a city internal auditor position – one of the biggest needs cited in State Auditor Susan Montee’s December report.

City Manager Bob Cumley said the internal auditor, who would be paid up to $80,000 a year, would report directly to the council’s Finance and Administration Committee and would be in charge of handling the city’s response to Montee’s other recommendations.

The auditor also would be tasked with auditing city departments’ cash transactions and monthly bank statements.

Cumley said he would like to determine where to advertise the position before council votes on the proposal at its Feb. 25 meeting, and council members agreed.

“That would not give me any heartburn at all,” Councilman John Wylie said at the meeting. “I’d like to see (the process) start as soon as possible.”

If council approves the proposal, the city expects to hire an auditor by April.
