Audit Troubled by Town Finances and Contract with CPA Firm
State Comptroller DiNapoli reports Lancaster Town officials unaware of deficiencies as they paid a CPA firm $8,250 monthly for bank reconciliations and financial reports. The audit finds lack of resident director oversight and notes state rules require a person, not a firm, in the Director of Finance role. Supervisor Leary questions potential legal action while Ruffino defends decisions and cites improved fund balance from 2.1 million to 4.3 million and a tax‑no‑rise budget for 2024.
