> The primary duties and functions of the Board of Auditors include:
>
> - Acting as a fiscal watchdog for the citizens of the township
> - Auditing, settling, and adjusting the accounts of all elected or appointed officials who received or disbursed funds during the immediate preceding calendar year
> - Setting salaries for supervisors who are employed by the township
> - Auditing records of the local district justice, if deemed appropriate
> - Filing the annual report for the township, unless the Board of Supervisors contracts an outside accounting firm per the code. (Nevertheless, in some townships auditors work together very closely with the township staff to insure that all township funds are properly expended and accounted for.)
> - Hearing cases involving financial loss to the township as caused by any elected or appointed official, who have acted in a violation of law or beyond the scope of their office
There are a few things here the supervisors might not want an outsider to look into.
